As a travel-industry veteran, Lynne Chomicz of Classic Vacations shares her travel origin story. We talk about how she got started (assisting in a brick-and-mortar travel agency!) all the way up to her years living in Hawaii while supporting event & group travel.   With several years at Classic Vacations under her belt, Lynne is uniquely qualified to share upcoming 2024/2025 travel trends and how hotels are (still!) adjusting after the pandemic. There is a healthy debate about the role of a tour operator vs. booking direct and how TOs are evolving for the future.   Lightning round: We hear about Lynne's dream bucket list vacation and what she looks for in a 5 5-star hotel.   https://www.classicvacations.com/contact-us
