When asked what she believes contributes to its success, Olivia thoughtfully replies, "I think the Travel Agent Hub is successful because it was created as a safe space where agents can ask questions and get the help they might not find elsewhere. My ability to be relatable, understanding, and transparent also plays a key role. Additionally, we've built a supportive culture that’s essential in this industry. This combination has made the group thrive."

I wanted to create a supportive environment for agents starting their careers. This passion drives me to support and guide others in the field," she shares.
