Vacation.com Travel Agent Conference

For those who attend the conference in the past, we always hear how great it is; that it’s one of the best in the industry; that there’s a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm; and that they learn so much by attending.

Lauraday is assuring me that members who attend seminars by Bob Abrams, Mike Marchev and Nolan Burris and our many supplier product presentations will come away with a bunch of new business building ideas they can implement right away. In fact...they want me to guarantee it, or we’ll refund your cost to attend (including air and hotel)! In addition, Lauraday tells me there are 16 new training courses and half a dozen new suppliers to better educate our members. So...look soon for the 'guarantee' that the conference is well worth your time...or we’ll cover your costs!

As you all know from coordinating functions, there’s a need to firm-up the numbers and for ‘minimums’ to be met in the area of hotel rooms and food/beverage in particular. So we need to nail down everyone’s registration no later than the 9th of May. If you haven’t registered yet, simply log onto www.AgentNet.com/conference click on 'Register Now' and follow the prompts from there.

In the last message I asked for feedback on ‘wave season’. As we know, the experience is different by member, but I think its fair to say that the Caribbean is somewhat weak in comparison to past years; Europe has been ‘hot’; Alaska still very strong...and business overall is spread out more over the course of the year... Have a great week...
