Host Agency
Interview
Montrose Travel
Back in the 1970s when I
worked for Aloha Airlines I was the Southwest Regional Sales
Manager for a period of time based in Los Angeles. Montrose
Travel was a key account then and I got to know them as they
were a huge Hawaii producer. In the 1980s when Joanie and I
owned and operated a regional wholesale
Hawaii tour company (Windansea Vacations)
Montrose was one of our largest accounts. Montrose Travel
has a rich history of outstanding performance and I am glad
to see them working with independent travel agents and would
highly recommend them.
I caught up with
Andi Musza and asked her a few questions
regarding Montrose Travel's independent
travel agent programs.

New From
HomeBasedTravelAgent.com
Every week I get telephone
calls and e-mail from folks looking for recommendations for this host agency or that one. Look, I will not
say anything negative about any host agency, but I do offer
a list of recommended host agencies and am going to make the
above logo available to companies that I can recommend in
confidence. So when you are looking at host agencies (or
other companies) look for this logo. There is no way anyone
can buy the use of it, they con only earn the right to use
it by performance and satisfied travel agents. If you would
like to use this logo on your site and are on my list of
host agencies, just drop me an e-mail and I will make sure
that you get it.
Travel Affiliate Marketing
What's it all about? The
travel industry is going through another paradigm that will
affect us all. Contextual advertising, affiliate marketing
and pay for performance selling in the travel industry is
booming and if you are not cashing in on it, you need to
understand it and act now.
Tom's new book "Home
Based Travel Affiliate" will show you the
opportunities that all travel professionals have to cash in
on the burgeoning travel affiliate market. Virtually every
travel supplier has affiliate programs that pay handsomely
and by joining one of the advertiser publisher networks you
can achieve the same (or better) results that Tom has. Click
