Special circumstances require special measures, especially this year with the corona pandemic on everyone’s shoulder. Some companies shy away from placing their brands in this environment in times of crisis. However, some see it as an opportunity to think afresh and to think in a different direction. For one thing was clearly demonstrated in 2020: cohesion is an important tool, an attitude. To be there for each other, to support each other by sharing the knowledge, by listening or by working together on solutions, in summary by using the power of synergies. Based on these values the new platform REPSUNITE has been developed, a collection of leading, independent Travel Representation Agencies operating out of the world’s most important source markets.
