Wednesday 24 June 2020 – The organisation of a wedding could be compared to that of a military operation: an exercise in logistics that requires a combination of effective project management, hard work, cooperation, and a certain amount of good luck to pull off successfully. Planning a wedding in an offshore location invariably adds another layer of complexity to the event, never mind the disruptions to those carefully laid plans caused by the arrival of a global pandemic.

Wednesday 10 June 2020 – Throughout Australia, the Coronavirus pandemic has compelled businesses to reconsider the way they operate, and employees to make a transition to working from home. For home-based travel professionals, life under lockdown has been somewhat less of an adjustment from an operational perspective: already having the necessary systems in place has allowed them to focus instead on looking after their clients and working on their businesses.
