Why Use a Travel Adviser?

A few weeks ago, we needed to call a plumber to take care of a minor problem with our toilet. Whenever someone new comes to the house, they are amazed that I work from home and that I send folks ’round the world from my home-based travel agency located in an 8′ x 10′ room off the living room.

That “little room” holds tons of cruise and tour brochures in its twin closets in addition to:

• three jammed-packed file cabinets containing customer files, correspondence, group departure plans and past records along with more brochures
• an executive size desk and chair
• a computer credenza with room for a printer and various reference books
• a chair that no one can sit upon as it, too, is full of brochures and projects in the works
• a paper shredder
• a three-shelf book case with no room to spare
• a fan to cool me and a portable heater to warm me up (hormones, not the weather, dictate which to use when…)
• a lap top on top of the book case
• and, another printer sitting atop one of the file cabinets

One of these days, when the mood moves me or I am looking for something I need and cannot find, I will clean up this mess. When that happens, I’ll take some pictures to show you proof that being a travel adviser is a real business and requires everything mentioned above, and then some….

OOPS! getting off the subject a bit…

Our plumber is somewhere in his mid 40′s in age, with a burning desire to travel wherever he can whenever he can. Until he walked into our house, he had no idea what a travel adviser was.

With the onset of the Internet and it’s influence in making travel plans, I find many people under the age of 60 really don’t know what a travel adviser is and why you should use our services, even if you research your vacations online.
