Working at Travel + Leisure Co

These resorts and restaurants are doing it right — with the help of some adorable baby iguanas.

• Secret Bay has been named Travel and Leisure’s No #1 Resort for the region which includes the Caribbean, Bermuda and The Bahamas for 2022.
• Winners are selected entirely by readers and we would love to share and support our Belizean nominees this year.
• MaaS application offers customer-centric platform for public transport which allows individuals to plan & use multimodal transport seamlessly.
• Millennials are tech-savvy and influential buyers and technology profoundly influences them.
• Since reopening on November 1, guests can take advantage of 12 recently-finished bungalows with a newly all-inclusive experience.

In the first half of 2022, we have invested in resources and technology, and have brought people together in person for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. Our leadership development programmes have more than doubled in size and our collective impact is broad and deep. Previous editions revealed a monumental wealth of experiences, personal and professional stories, successes, tips, and lessons learnt. The women featured have inspired many others to progress within our industry, and have become mentors and role models meaning that the powerful and positive impact of the Index continues to be phenomenal. Information technology is an integral and mandatory tool of conference and exhibition management.

This year, we are thrilled to see that 19 Belizean properties are in the running to be crowned world leaders in the hospitality industry. High-value customer interactions will continue to be key for travel-related businesses as they bounce back from recent closures and restrictions. Executives are turning to a trusted travel and tourism BPO partner to help them keep up with customers as they start traveling again—at a significantly lower cost and risk than with direct employment of an in-house team. Our call centre services for the travel industry and hospitality call centre services enable clients to effectively retain customers and strengthen their market share in this cutthroat industry. As a communications consultancy, we offer deep industry expertise across travel, hospitality and leisure, paired with specialty experience that understands how important these industries are in driving economic growth. We are not your typical publicists—we are brand marketers and communications specialists first, some of us with MBAs in marketing and finance or graduate degrees in communications.

Our executive search consultants have helped some of the world’s most iconic hospitality brands lead markets by finding and recruiting talent and teams capable of market innovation, operational excellence and financial performance. For advocates, bleisure can help revitalize the struggling business travel industry from the pandemic’s impact.. In 2020, spending on business travel was nearly $700 billion, but the pandemic dealt the industry a crippling blow as companies now expect as much as a 25% decline in number of business trips through to 2025, compared to before the pandemic. Now that business travel is becoming more common, many business travelers are taking the opportunity to blend leisure travel with corporate travel. While the company expects significant growth over the next four years, we can make little insights into whether this is beyond prior performance. So far, revenues have rebounded to slightly less than 2019 revenues, and are less than what the Wyndham business saw on its own prior to merger.
