Today we’d like to introduce you to Quitina Cook
Hi Quitina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world as a young girl. I thought I would accomplish that by joining the military in some capacity, but that didn’t happen and life went on.
Time passed and life began to present different traveling opportunities for me and a took every one of them that I could afford!!
My career of choice as an executive assistant, I’ve been managing and creating agendas for executives for over 25 years. I’ve also been traveling frequently over the last 5 years with family and friends.
Organizing trips for us has been nothing but AMAZING, so, I thought “Why not do this for other people”!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
“No, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing! One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced is marketing and figuring out the most effective strategies for navigating social media.
Learning how to leverage these platforms in ways that truly make my business stand out has been a significant struggle for me.”
As you know, we’re big fans of Q’s Travel Service. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
As an independent travel agent who curates unique vacation.
I specialize in group travel, girls’ trips, guys’ trips, family reunions, milestone birthdays, and I also assist couples, families, and solo travelers.
While I am incredibly passionate about crafting memorable experiences for my clients, learning how to effectively leverage social media to make my business stand out has been a steep learning curve.
I’m particularly proud of organizing my first group trip to Dubai in September 2022, which was a phenomenal experience, and I’m equally proud of my perseverance over the past four years.
What truly sets me apart is my commitment to providing excellent professional customer service. I go above and beyond to ensure my clients have the best possible time on their vacations, and I take great pride in making their travel dreams come true.”
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
In the next 5-10 years, I see the travel industry evolving significantly with several key shifts and trends. Firstly, there will be an increasing demand for personalized and unique travel experiences.
Travelers are looking for more than just a vacation; they want immersive, authentic experiences that allow them to connect with the local culture and environment.
Technology will continue to play a crucial role in the industry. The use of AI and data analytics will enhance the ability to provide personalized recommendations and streamline booking processes. Virtual and augmented reality might also become more prevalent, allowing travelers to explore destinations virtually before making a decision.
Health and safety will remain a top priority, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Travelers will prioritize destinations and accommodations that maintain high standards of hygiene and safety protocols.
Lastly, there will be a rise in remote work and digital nomadism. More people will take advantage of the flexibility to work from anywhere, leading to longer stays in destinations that offer a good work-life balance.
Overall, the travel industry will become more personalized, sustainable, tech-savvy, and health-conscious, catering to the evolving needs and preferences of modern travelers.
