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.
New Articles Just Added
Travel Business Parental Success:
Here is a great article that deals with working from
home with children and how to make the best of a great
situation.
The Article I have Waited
25 Years to Write: Since deregulation the airline
industry has just gone from bad, to worse, to downright
horrible. Then, along came Continental Airline's new
President and has transformed Continental into an enjoyable and
rewarding experience. Here is an article that details why
Continental should be your first choice.
New Educational Opportunities
Apple Vacations Specialist:
Apple Vacations has introduced their new "Apple Vacations
Specialist" program that leads to a preferred relationship
with Apple Vacations. The program is free and consists of
several courses, which are currently available and you will be
provided with each new course as they are released.
Certified Niche Cruise Specialist:
Here is an excellent program for cruise agents. The Niche
Cruise Marketing Association (NCMA) is made up of several
non-CLIA based cruise lines from around the world. Here is
an excellent way to learn about them and expand your
inventory of cruise products to sell. This certification is
well worth the time and effort to obtain, as it will reward
you with additional commissions from a new market segment.

this new and exciting way to learn about the various travel

Host Agency Updates
In what was an oversight on my
part, I have added a new host to the
HomeBasedTravelAgent.com list of recommended host agencies.

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
Here for more
information.
