Millennials in Travel®

The future of the travel industry!

September 2021 Newsletter

Dear Guest Guest,  

 

It’s officially fall, which means leaves changing colors, pumpkin spice and everything nice, and some great shoulder season travel deals.  Our industry recently received the hopeful announcement the U.S. will be opening its borders to vaccinated international travelers starting in November. It feels like we’ve been waiting quite awhile for this to come to fruition, and the time has finally come to welcome our international friends once again. 


In other exciting news, we just announced another fabulous FAM opportunity and another Exclusive Benefit!  We also have a date for the next in-person event in NYC and finishing up plans for a few other events across the continent. Read on for further details and other exciting updates with MIT. 

     

Do you have an MIT ID yet?

We've revamped our back-end systems in preparation for future development, so everyone will have an MIT ID moving forward.  Soon, you'll receive an email explaining this futher, but our goal is to ONLY send applicable communication to you, so need you to update your profile. To jump start this process, you can re-register using the button below.

Optional New Membership Model

For $25 per year, you'll have access to two events, plus many more community benefits. Read here for details on the membership program!

6 Lessons Learned from my First FAM Trip

On our most recent FAM, Millennials in Travel welcomed a variety of members including some in which this was their first FAM. For the seasoned veterans of the industry, a work trip is just simply part of our job and while in many other industries, a luxurious trip is rare, for our industry, it is the norm. New member, Emily Baker, shares what she learned on her first FAM in our most recent blog post with helpful hints for all of us.
