The new travel agency was facing competition from 6 other agencies, already well established in the small town. Susan started the company with only herself and one other agent, Barbara Hanify, who although retired, is still working at Susan Parr Travel. Within a week, Susan hired another employee who, for 2 months, worked for free. The neighboring town of Sequim had 5 travel agencies, Port Angeles now had 7.Business was slow and times were tough. New challenges were beginning to emerge. The airlines stopped paying commissions to travel agents, the internet "travel" sites were the new craze and people started to make their own travel arrangements. The business outlook for travel agencies was grave. Then the unimaginable happened. The most horrific tragedy in United States history occurred on Sep 11th 2001. Of the 12 Travel Agencies in the area, only 3 were able to stay in business after 9/11. Susan Parr Travel was one of them.Susan Parr Travel, Inc., in the face of adversity, persevered and has become the #1 Travel Agency in the area for the past 22 years and is the last remaining full service travel agency on the Olympic Peninsula. But Times have changed once again, hitting the travel industry hard with Covid 19. Once again Susan had to make a tough decision to let the brick and morter office go and move the business to her home. Without people being able to travel the only way to survive was to cut expenses and this was actually something Susan was hoping to do down the road. There are now 4 employees working at Susan Parr Travel from their homes. At Susan Parr Travel we know that the key reason we were able to survive in such competitive times is because of our practice of "Going the Extra Mile" for all our clients.The Susan Parr PeopleMeet the travel professionals who will make your trip your most memorable ever!Picture Susan ParrCTC, MCCEmailSusan was bitten by the travel bug when she was in high school.
