When European countries began announcing dates they would reopen to U.S. travelers, Daniela Harrison s phone began to ring. Harrison, an advisor with Avenues of the World Travel in Flagstaff, Ariz., has been busy booking Italy, Greece and river cruises. One couple even traveled to Italy within mere weeks of booking; others plan to travel later this year or next.
But, for many others, Europe s reopening has left them with more questions than answers, and clients traveling close in are beginning to balk.
So, how did Harrison do it? It was a mix of solid marketing tactics and good, old-fashioned phone calls.

Last month, the San Francisco Small Business Commission added Castro travel agency Yankee Clipper Travel (4115 19th St.) to the city s Legacy Business Registry, which recognizes longstanding, community-serving businesses that have established themselves in area neighborhoods for at least three decades.
Currently, there are 275 small businesses citywide on the registry. Yankee Clipper Travel is the first travel agency to be honored. I m really appreciative of the legacy business status because I m starting to get a ton of referrals that didn t even know that there were travel agents anymore in San Francisco, owner Kirk Dalrymple tells Hoodline. I didn t realize all the extra benefits that would come with it.
