The Benefits of Being a Travel Agent | All inclusive family vacations

cruise lines Comments Off

There are many different benefits of being a Travel Agent. First off being a Travel Agent means that you are now in the industry, which means you automatically qualify to receive travel and vacation benefits. there is a great way you can get these benefits and much more that I will be discussing below without having to get a license or qualifications or anything of such. but the question is, how can you benefit from being a travel agent. And yes you do need a license to be a Certified Travel Agent, but I’m going to honestly show you a way where you can become a travel agent without having a license and still receive all the benefits I’m going to share with you.

Lets talk about the benefits of being a travel agent.

offer travel industry rates for bona fide travel agents. the rates can vary from $35.00 – $50.00 per person per day. the travel professional is allowed to bring one companion at the same rate.

rental firms offer discounts to travel industry personnel. the discounts can vary from 10% up to 50% off normal rates. these discounts are subject to availability and offered at the discretion of the supplier.

Many escorted tour companies will offer substantial discounts on their tours. these discounts will also vary but are typically 10% – 50% off the retail price.

One of the most appealing benefits to travel agents is the opportunities to go on a FAM Trip! FAM is short for familiarization. Special trips are organized specifically with the travel professional in mind. They are offered by tour companies, hotels, convention and visitor bureaus, airlines and cruise lines. the purpose of these trips are to familiarize the agent with the products as being a benefit for being in the industry. the great thing about these FAM trips or sometimes called member trips is that they are so easy to use. Once you become a agent you are able to take one of these FAM trips immediately. these trips are extremely discounted, and can save you up to 1,500 per vacation, which is well worth it. Here are some examples of some of the member trips that you can take advantage of.

1.)4Day Jamaica Vacation for only $234.00

2.)4Day Cozumel, Mexico only $181.00

3.)4Day Cancun Mexico Vacation only $230.00

4.)6 Day Caribbean Cruise for only $285.00

5.)Myrtle Beach golf vacation for 3 nights for only $359.00

6.)Disney World 3 Day/ 4 Nights Only $335.00- oh the kids will love this one…

And there are dozens of others that you can take advantage of as well. these are not single trips these are family vacations.

Other benefits include commissions from booked travel from 70% to 90%, and enhanced commissions, educational programs and events, Corporate and leisure hotel programs, travel insurance vendors, blocked cruise space & exclusive vendor deals, professional familiarization (FAM) rates on luxury cruises, resorts and tours. Travel agent discount on hotels and rental cars, show and theme park discounts and free admission to popular attractions, take advantage of huge tax breaks available for home-based businesses. You also can do all of this from home because you get your very own customized website ready to go set up just like expedia, orbitz or any other major travel website where your friends and family can book and you can receive your commissions. And you can set your own hours.

If you are looking on becoming a Travel Agent, I will show you the best way to get it done, without a license. Im probably at my desk now, give me a call for any questions- 240-645-9718

Travelers' Laptops May Be Detained At Border

language translation Comments Off

Federal agents may take a traveler’s laptop or other electronic device to an off-site location for an unspecified period of time without any suspicion of wrongdoing, as part of border search policies the Department of Homeland Security recently disclosed.

Also, officials may share copies of the laptop’s contents with other agencies and private entities for language translation, data decryption or other reasons, according to the policies, dated July 16 and issued by two DHS agencies, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“The policies . . . are truly alarming,” said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), who is probing the government’s border search practices. He said he intends to introduce legislation soon that would require reasonable suspicion for border searches, as well as prohibit profiling on race, religion or national origin.

DHS officials said that the newly disclosed policies — which apply to anyone entering the country, including U.S. citizens — are reasonable and necessary to prevent terrorism. Officials said such procedures have long been in place but were disclosed last month because of public interest in the matter.

Civil liberties and business travel groups have pressed the government to disclose its procedures as an increasing number of international travelers have reported that their laptops, cellphones and other digital devices have been taken — for months, in at least one case — and their contents examined.

The policies state that officers may “detain” laptops “for a reasonable period of time” to “review and analyze information.” This may take place “absent individualized suspicion.”

The policies cover “any device capable of storing information in digital or analog form,” including hard drives, flash drives, cell phones, iPods, pagers, beepers, and video and audio tapes. they also cover “all papers and other written documentation,” including books, pamphlets and “written materials commonly referred to as ‘pocket trash’ or ‘pocket litter.’ “

Reasonable measures must be taken to protect business information and attorney-client privileged material, the policies say, but there is no specific mention of the handling of personal data such as medical and financial records.

When a review is completed and no probable cause exists to keep the information, any copies of the data must be destroyed. Copies sent to non-federal entities must be returned to DHS. But the documents specify that there is no limitation on authorities keeping written notes or reports about the materials.

“They’re saying they can rifle through all the information in a traveler’s laptop without having a smidgen of evidence that the traveler is breaking the law,” said Greg Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy and Technology. Notably, he said, the policies “don’t establish any criteria for whose computer can be searched.”

Customs Deputy Commissioner Jayson P. Ahern said the efforts “do not infringe on Americans’ privacy.” in a statement submitted to Feingold for a June hearing on the issue, he noted that the executive branch has long had “plenary authority to conduct routine searches and seizures at the border without probable cause or a warrant” to prevent drugs and other contraband from entering the country.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote in an opinion piece published last month in USA Today that “the most dangerous contraband is often contained in laptop computers or other electronic devices.” Searches have uncovered “violent jihadist materials” as well as images of child pornography, he wrote.

With about 400 million travelers entering the country each year, “as a practical matter, travelers only go to secondary [for a more thorough examination] when there is some level of suspicion,” Chertoff wrote. “Yet legislation locking in a particular standard for searches would have a dangerous, chilling effect as officers’ often split-second assessments are second-guessed.”

In April, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld the government’s power to conduct searches of an international traveler’s laptop without suspicion of wrongdoing. The Customs policy can be viewed at: cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/travel/admissability/search_authority.ctt/search_authority.pdf.

How Online Video Affects the Time Warner Cable-Disney Retrans Spat

clicker Comments Off

The battle between Time Warner Cable and Disney over the retransmission fees required to carry ABC and ESPN channels on the MSO’s cable systems is heating up, with both companies already appealing to the public through websites designed to sway opinion in their favor. But as I write in my latest piece on GigaOM Pro (subscription required), the availability of that content online could be one reason that both Time Warner Cable and Disney have taken the fight public so early.

Time Warner Cable has brought back its “Roll Over or get Tough” marketing campaign, which it originally launched during its retrans spat with Fox at the end of last year. Disney, meanwhile, is reminding consumers they could always switch providers with its own newly launched “I Have Choices” campaign.

While Time Warner Cable is trying to woo the public by showing how increases in retransmission fees eventually get passed on to the consumer, Disney is urging consumers on Time Warner Cable systems to find alternative service providers if they are afraid of losing access to ABC content. on its “I Have Choices” page, Disney suggests viewers tune into its programming on AT&T, Verizon or DirecTV in affected markets.

But how does online video affect the current retransmission debates? Well, consumers can find more content than ever before free online, with more than 90 percent of broadcast television shows over the last two seasons made available online, according to a study by Clicker released earlier this month. and it’s difficult to see Time Warner Cable — or any cable company — wanting to pay more for content that is made available for free through another distribution channel.

So far, the networks have argued that online video is complementary, not cannibalistic, to their broadcast properties. and to this point, short-term worries over the possibility of consumers “cutting the cord,” or even canceling their cable subscriptions, seem overblown. After all, more consumers in the U.S. pay for subscription TV services than ever before.

Networks are cautious about proposing online video as a substitute for the broadcast content. Even in its marketing campaign to let users know that they “have choices,” the one place that Disney is not telling users to go is online, where much of its programming is available for free on ABC.com or Hulu.

Even so, if Time Warner Cable does stop carrying ABC, users may take to watching their favorite shows online rather than switching providers, which is a precarious situation for both companies. Time Warner Cable would still make money from broadband subscribers, but those users won’t carry the same value as those that subscribe to higher-priced cable packages. and Disney would still make advertising revenue from its web video business, but not nearly as much as it does off the broadcast.

Both companies should tread carefully as their Sept. 2 deadline approaches to reach an agreement on keeping Disney’s content on Time Warner Cable. If the fight eventually drives users to watch more content online, Time Warner Cable and Disney could both lose out.

5 Tips For Booking Airline Discount Tickets Online

Image : flickr.com

Booking airline tickets online is gaining in popularity. Its easy, instant, and can get you the best deals if you know how to. the internet is a thriving marketplace for anything a person needs and there are websites that specialize in selling discounted airline tickets such as discountairfare.com. the advantage of such sites or directories that feature tickets from multiple airlines is that the websites have in place advanced technology that will even combine tow different airline flights to get you the best possible air fare. all a customer needs to do is fill a simple form outlining his travel plans and instantly the website will feature multiple options to select from.

The main advantage of online booking is that you will be able to comparison shop with wasting time or resources. here are a few tips to booking discount tickets online:

1. the cheapest tickets are available about 21 days in advance. so firm up travel plans early and log on to see what your options are. Discount tickets are to be had in both low cost airlines as well as in full fare airlines. the earlier you book the more options you will get to choose from.

2. Keep a tab on special sales announced by airlines. Periodically many airlines publish special offers or fare tables valid for set periods of time. so, you can take advantage of such special promotions.

3. Never use a single online site for purchase of tickets. according to travel gurus, it is advantageous to use multiple travel sites to gauge the best deals possible. use a comparison search engine this will enable you to study several options simultaneously. Examples of such tools are Sidestep and Qixo.

4. in case your date is not a fixed one and you have flexibility then use sites like BestFare.com which has advanced fare finder tools that will throw up a wide array of flight options on different days along with fares.

5. There are web directory sites that ease travel by bringing to one stop many leading discount ticket websites. Using such sites will minimize hassles and find you the best deals possible.

6. if you are not a snob or fussy traveler then consider flying low cost carriers. Some of these are however not listed on travel sites. You will have to log on to the airline websites or use their toll free numbers.

7. if you are a frequent traveler then consider signing up for email notifications sent by sites like Orbitz, Exepedia, or Travelocity. This means even if you miss advertisements or press releases you will get information on tab on the best deals.

Travel by airplanes is easy and affordable if you know how to get the best.

Be a wise traveler. Before you even begin your quest find out what the average price for your proposed trip is and get an approximate idea of how low tickets are sold for on that sector. Once you have some figures decide I would like tickets for x or y amount and aim for tickets closest to your range. As soon as tickets fall to the range go ahead and book tickets.

The Terms And Conditions Of Travel Insurance Can Be Complicated …

health insurance policy Comments Off

Almost everyone has some type oftravel health insurance, but it is uncommon that you have to actually use it. Whenever you have an insurance policy its not possible to know how it is like to file a claim and just how easy it is to get the insurance companies to take care of the claim. So be sure to read the fine print of your travel health insurance policy.

What I genuinely want to know is the facts about how some things just dont get covered. I gained knowledge of one poor soul had purchasedcheap travel insurance and her mother had been all of a sudden clinically determined to have cancer. Due to the treatment this person was not able to use the airline ticket, and even though the person purchasing the one way travel insurance was a U.S. citizen and it impacted her journey, they would not reimburse her the non-refundable airfare. the hard truth is that obtaining insurance coverage is just like applying for a credit card. the credit card has a big list of terms and conditions. Unfortunately we cannot examine them because they are lengthy and hard to read, and we just assume that the terms and conditions are clear-cut. I may utilize it to buy something, and then Ill either pay it off or make payments. Life continues on and we are not worried about the credit card. That is until a notice comes in the mail telling us about a change in the terms and agreements. this change comes even though not one payment was past due. these are all loopholes, so anytime you receive details mailed to you or emailed on an insurance plan; make sure that you study the whole thing.

Regarding the situation above, the woman wasnt a US citizen and while the person who bought the insurance policy was a US citizen the coverage would not cover non-citizens. make sure that you find out the window of opportunity to purchasecheap travel insurance for your vacation. Presently there is often a specific period of time by which there are no pre-existing conditions. Usually, this can be a extremely short timeframe so make sure you do your research and find out how long that window of opportunity is. Cheap travel insurance may be exactly as it seems, cheap.
