Sue Slater, owner of Presto Magic Travel and a speaker at the 2019 TravelAbility Summit, was recently profiled by TravelPulse.
The article describes her path to becoming a travel agent and how she has been able to build a successful travel business as a blind person. She’s incorporated technology like Aira and the JAWS screen reader software to ensure that she is always able to deliver for her customers. “If you’re going to be blind, the 21st century is the time because there is so much technology that makes it almost like you can see again,” she said.
2020 has been a difficult year for everyone in the travel industry, but it has been more challenging for Sue than most. In February, she was faced with the unexpected loss of her husband and business partner, Larry.
Despite the pandemic and the loss of her husband, Sue has adapted, remaining focused on the future. She has approached the uncertainty of 2020 with her ever-positive spirit, and told TravelPulse readers to “have a smile on your face, give yourself a virtual hug and go out in the world looking for a new adventure.” That’s great advice for us all as we approach what will hopefully be a much brighter 2021.
