I love this article!!!! Yes I am a home based Travel Agent/Consultant. for a Travel Agency in another town. I have been in travel for 22 years. We have been on 16 cruises & many land tours. I get groups together for cruises so I get better rates. I do not have an overhead because my home is paid for & that also saves my client money. I make sure all clients have all the information before they leave. Sometimes we escort the cruises. People trust me because I've been there done that. They can look at our videos & pictures of the same destinations they are going to & see the different tours offered.

I was actually surprised when I booked a cruise for someone (by calling it in to the cruise lines direct), I save them $134.00 each. I also got them an upgrade of 2 decks because they had cruised with that company before. That's about a total of $750.00 savings!!!!!! I guess I am old fashioned, but I don't book over the net. I call all my bookings straight into the company. I can find out that way if there are any special discounts being offer, senior rates or past guest discounts. I have seldom ever had any trouble doing the personal booking that way, and if I do, I know who to find to correct it.

AGAIN, THAT YOU FOR THE GREAT WRITE UP.
