DescriptionSo, are you basically saying that our industry is finished? Yeah, why are these apps and stuff trying to take away our business? I understand how you must feel about these changes, but I hope I've shown you that there are opportunities for growth. Even with a very tech-savvy group of consumers, the need for travel agencies is still very strong.
Okay, the presenter didn't much better that time. As we finish this part of our lesson on presentations, I'd like to go back to something I said at the beginning. It's normal to feel nervous, especially when you're giving a presentation in another language. The more experience you have, the better you'll feel.
And at the end of the day, try to remember that presentation is just a conversation. Your audience is interested in you, in how you got to where you are, and in what you have to say. Smile at someone. Get excited about what you have to say, and enjoy yourself. Seriously, you can do it.
