Travel professionals are coming back

Customers who left their travel agents in favor of budget websites such as Travelocity or Kayak are coming back."Travelers want to have the people they can call and say, 'I'm at the hotel, my room is not good, what do I do?' They want to have a person who help them out."



And it's no wonder. Flying has become more complicated, hotels more competitive, and the best deals and perks increasingly harder to find.
Ask a travel agent..they will get the best deals for you!!!
NO FEES attached.
Have a trip in mind? No matter your tastes, there's a travel agent who caters to them.


According to the American Society of Travel Agents, travel agents still book 85% of all cruises, 70% of all tours and packages, 50% of all airline tickets, 30% of all hotels and 25% of all car rentals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there are 63,500 travel agents in the U.S., many of whom specialize in niche areas of travel.
Many believed that travel portals would wipe out travel agents. Yet that hasn't happened: Agents booked $95 billion in travel sales in 2011 -- approximately one-third of the overall $284 billion U.S. travel industry.
Most of those bookings were for corporate clients; agencies specializing in business travel recovered more quickly from the recession than those focusing on leisure travel.



But leisure travel is also making a comeback, and individuals and families are seeking the same level of service as their corporate counterparts.

Sandals..weddings your way

Well...another month goes by and I bet you forgot about me. Well here I am back stronger and better and here to blog as much as I can.
I traveled last week to NYC's Grand Central Station for Sandals Wedding Unpackaged. Gordon "Butch" Stewart, chairman of Sandals Resorts unveiled how Sandals is revolutionizing the destination wedding experience.
I had the priviledge of meeting Randy Fenoli, of Say Yes to the Dress as he hosted this event.

Your Wedding, Your Way. No Problem, Man!

You can now book any type of wedding using any color scheme. You are not limited as you were before. Brides ...take advantage of this innovation in the wedding industry.
