Calling
All Travel Agents
by
Muguette
Goufrani
This page will be devoted
specifically to the interests of Travel Agents. While our
publication target the Travel Trade and many of the items
our site appeal to my fellow agents, the internet by its
very nature is wide open to a worldwide spectrum,
reaching a universal audience. I read recently that,
"getting information via the internet was like taking a
drink from a fire hose. " You get a soaking whether you
want it or not. I hope we can be one of the exceptions.
Let us know if you like our format, find us easy to
navigate, and by all means identify some of the
destionation areas and topics you are most interested in.
If you wish to volunteer as a reporter for your firm or
area, please e-mail africa@dowco.com.
Sometime soon, we will divide our
site into segments, providing a section that is Travel
Agent specific, including those persons interested in
joining the profession or attending travel schools.
Eventually there will be access by passwords.
Watch for much more from myself
and our agency colleagues in coming features - on this
page - and the new section that will spring from it. For
starters, here are some of the items on line at the
moment that may be of help to you, plus some key contacts
from our data base. Also check the LINKS on the side
column, relating to destinations and modes of
travel.
