Andrea Holbrook to Speak at Cuba Panel Discussion

Holbrook Travel President Andrea Holbrook will participate as an expert panelist in a discussion about Cuba on Thursday, September 17, in Orlando, Fla.

The session, “Selling Cuba,” will take place at the Travel Industry Exchange and will focus on providing professional travel agents with an understanding of legal updates for travel to Cuba, including what is permitted and precluded by the current OFAC regulations, and how that could change over the next 18 months. Holbrook Travel has been operating programs to Cuba since 2000, after receiving the Travel Service Provider license.

The Travel Industry Exchange is a conference and networking event for travel professionals that describes itself as “the next revolution in travel education.” This unique travel event is organized by the publisher of Travel Agent and Luxury Travel Advisor magazines.

Photo of the Month: November 2025

Above: On the way to see baobab trees at sunset on the red dirt roads in the bush of Madagascar, we stopped as the young goat herders crossed directly in front of us, looking like majestic figures in the sunlit, dusty glow. It felt like the scene of a movie, and this photo captured the feeling of that moment perfectly.
