You Can’t Afford To Miss WorldVia World, The Numbers Prove It

In just about four months many of us will gather aboard the Independence of the Seas for WorldVia Travel Network World (formerly Travel Quest World), an event unlike anything we’ve done before. I feel like a little kid as Christmas approaches. I want to jiggle the packages, size them up, and wonder what awaits me. I just can’t wait!

So many of you have already booked your cabin and you’re planning to join us, thank you! We could close the group right now with those already committed, and it will be an amazing event. Others are still jiggling the package and deciding if you’re going to attend. Your hesitation is understandable. It’s several days away from home, and there is the cost, of course.

You’re asking yourself… is it worth it?

Attendees Sell More Travel. A Lot More.

Yes, there is a cost to attend the event, but the break-even is less than four additional trips sold. Meaning, if you sell an additional four trips over the following year, you’ll have covered your cost to attend.

Here’s the deal. Those attending WorldVia World outsell those who don’t… by a lot. Plus, you’ll get some vacay time as a built-in bonus!

For the 12 Months Following WorldVia World 2021:

• Average attendee travel sales were 129% higher than those who didn’t attend.
• Attendees grew their sales by 87%. Non-attendees, just 13%.

So, not only do I think you’ll earn back your cost to attend, I think you’ll leave the event with the connections, the creativity, the energy, and the message to power your business to new heights and you won’t look back. That’s not just my opinion, the data proves it.

Don’t Delay, Let’s Send a Message

In the past, with a land-based event, you could decide to attend just a few weeks before the event. As many of you know, cruise group space is a little different and if we don’t fill the group by certain dates, we have to give back part of the reserved space. If you wait until the last minute, there may not be space available! 

Your industry prominence is on the rise. We want to reinforce that with an event that not only impresses you, but an event that will really impress Royal Caribbean and the other supplier partners in attendance.

Suppliers at our events always remark that you are more engaged, enthused, and open to new ideas than any other host agency. If we can sell out this group, that goes a long way to giving us the ammunition we need to negotiate even better deals for you. It demonstrates that you are here and you’re a force to be reckoned with.

Remember, as I shared on stage last year, our supplier partners respect scale and growth, above all else. Let’s show them how strong you are. Let’s convince them as a united front together that we deserve even better commissions, even better promotions, even better access. Let’s show them that there is no other network of travel entrepreneurs like us in the world.

Get Connected

Building connections with other travel entrepreneurs, supplier partners, and our team at WorldVia gives you a big boost to accomplishing your goals. Get answers to questions, new ideas to explore, and contacts to reach out to.

Get Creative

Most of you are home-based entrepreneurs. I’ve done that myself for many years and I can tell you that simply putting yourself in a different environment for a few days where you’re thinking about your business, learning new strategies for attracting and retaining clients, and connecting with other entrepreneurs unlocks a creativity that will have business-boosting ideas flowing out of you. You’ll leave WorldVia World with pages of notes with great ideas to take your business to the next level.

Get Charged

Building and running a business can be a grind. Surround yourself with others who are creating success. It is infectious. Attending WorldVia World will give you the shot in the arm you need to reinvigorate yourself and leave not only more enthused, but with a tremendous self-confidence that you can achieve your goals. 

Get Out There

Many travelers are still hesitant. Just being out there traveling helps build their confidence in travel, and reinforces that you are their go-to source.

Get Your Groove On

We’ve structured this year’s WorldVia World to provide you an opportunity to just let loose, enjoy the ship, relax at the amazing private island Coco Cay, and take advantage of why many of you got into this business in the first place—to enjoy traveling, and this isn’t tax advice, but I think most accountants would tell you that your cost to attend WorldVia World is a tax-deductible business expense. 

So, is it worth it?

Not only is attending WorldVia World worth it, but I would say that you can’t afford to miss it.

Best success,

  Jason
