We made an early call to freeze the 2021 Power List rankings. With the exception only of 2020 merger and acquisition activity among agencies, the rankings you'll see on this year's list are otherwise the same as was compiled by Travel Weekly last June. That list was based on gross travel sales in 2019.
Longer duration cruises. Higher per cabin spend. A spike in bookings for world cruises.

We can truly become that trusted advisor that can walk them through a lifetime of travel.”
Online travel shopping company Expedia Group Thursday launched COVID-19 Travel Advisor, an online tool that provides information about current travel restrictions to potential and existing customers across seven of the company’s brands.
Designed to help cruise lines, franchise partners and agents more easily search for, choose and distribute cruises, the new tools were launched in response to North America search data in Q4 last year, which found that there is substantial pent-up demand for cruises in 2021.
Matthew Eichorst, president of Expedia Cruises and Global Cruise Leader at Expedia Group, took some time during the week to talk to Travel Market Report about his take on 2020 and what the group is doing to prepare its advisors and franchise owners for 2021.
Global cruise searches spiked as much as 30% between August and September and almost 9,000 passengers booked 2021 and 2022 cruises in a recent Expedia promotion. Matthew Eichhorst, Vice President of Global Cruise at Expedia Group says these early signs of recovery are extremely encouraging.
