Are you a destination wedding planner, or a travel agent specializing in destination weddings to all-inclusive resorts? Then this is the article for you. Inside we’re going to highlight 5 Tips for Wedding Planners during COVID-19, to offer insights and tips to keep businesses afloat while our industry faces such unique challenges for travel. These are things you can do now, even while you don’t have groups traveling, or are awaiting travel bans to lift in our most beloved destinations.
Research New Destination Wedding Resorts and Brands

Create a running list of the most exciting resorts opening this year and next, like Dreams Macao Beach in Punta Cana, or the recently-opened Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres. These new properties will take destination weddings to a whole new level, and you want to be there at the beginning to secure your wedding dates before occupancy sells out, and while travel rates are incredibly low.
Craft Content Around Your Couples

You can even take this a step further and interview couples who may have had to postpone or cancel their destination weddings. Of course, having to reschedule or cancel is heartbreaking, but seek out the positivity in these stories. Discover tips you can share with other planning couples, and share messages of support for once we can all travel to our favorite beaches again.
Update Your Web Content

Network with Your Industry
Use this time to build your personal and professional network with like-minded industry insiders. Reach out to new vendors and learn more about their services and pricing. Reach out for updated resort information from the event’s department. Attend digital webinars and Zoom happy-hours by your preferred partners. Just because COVID-19 has affected travel doesn’t mean you still can’t grow as an travel authoritative.
