Southfield, MI – This month, as Sky Bird marks five decades in business, the firm is unveiling an ambitious nationwide awareness effort aimed at promoting, backing, and uplifting travel advisors throughout North America. The initiative, organized under the hashtag #WhyUseATravelAgent, seeks to bring travel professionals together, enhance public understanding, and highlight the vital role advisors play in the modern, increasingly complicated travel landscape.
With geopolitical instability, flight cancellations, shifting entry rules, and evolving international conditions continuing to affect travelers globally, Sky Bird is urging travel agencies, advisors, and industry partners to jointly advocate for the benefits of relying on a trusted travel expert.
Through this program, Sky Bird has developed customizable promotional materials, social media graphics, educational messaging, and supporting resources that agencies can tailor with their own logos and distribute to customers.
“Having supported the travel advisor community for 50 years, Sky Bird believes the time has come to drive a broader industry conversation about the genuine worth that advisors deliver to travelers every day,” said Norman Knowles, CEO of Sky Bird. “When disruptions occur, travelers quickly understand that technology by itself cannot replace expertise, advocacy, guidance, and personal care. This campaign is about uniting the industry to remind travelers that professional travel advisors continue to be one of the most valuable assets in travel.”
The effort also underscores Sky Bird’s enduring dedication to the travel advisor sector. Over the last half-century, Sky Bird has assisted agencies nationwide with exclusive fare products, cutting-edge booking systems, worldwide airline collaborations, 24/7 professional help, and its own WINGS Booking Platform.
“Travel advisors form the foundation of this industry, and they need more visibility, stronger advocacy, and better support,” said Arvin Shah, Chairman of Sky Bird. . “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we wanted to commemorate this milestone by launching an initiative that reflects our long-term commitment to the travel advisor community. We are proud to help lead efforts that strengthen the profession, raise its profile, and support its ongoing expansion across North America.”
