SPECIALIST TRAVEL AGENTS or THE TRAVEL
PROVIDERS?
This travel site is offering travelers
the opportunity to find Specialist
Travel Agents for either a destination
or travel activity or the option to
go directly to travel operators around
the world with direct links to their
websites.
The site does not have any advertising
to distract the visitor from the objectives
of the service and therefore does
not entice you to linger but wants
you to go efficiently to sites that
are specific to your needs.
The design of the site represents
a clean and simple style without any
unnecessary clutter enabling easy
links to destinations around the world
and to other sites dedicated to last
minute travel offers and South Pacific
travel. This online news service is
also part of the package and highlights
specialist travel agents and travel
operators who welcome direct dealings
from the subscribers.
By offering both specialist travel
agents and operator-direct services
to the traveler, the site enables
even the smallest travel business
the opportunity to showcase their
travel products and services and expand
their reach, as well as giving travelers
an array of travel choices that would
not normally be readily available
to them.
No bookings or reservations can be
made here as it is only a travel directory
but the consumer is now able to choose
a specialist travel agent or may go
direct to the hotel, b&b, tour operator
or travel service.
The operators intend to keep the site
free of advertising and clutter in
order to support both the travel clients
who are listed and linked and the
traveler who wants to find relevant
travel products rather than go through
the searching processes of the internet.
There are many travel directories
on the internet but this one does
seem to have the clarity and ease
of use compared to many of the other
web sources for travel which seem
to only want to attract search engines
in order to earn revenue from advertising
other services and affiliate click
programs.
The site charges a nominal fee for
listed links but now even the smallest
travel business can be found and recognized,
for a price, as a 'toptravelsite.'
The goals of the website are somewhat
grandiose, to be every traveler's
bookmark or favorite, but with over
half a million page visits in the
past year it could be worthwhile for
the many thousands of small travel
businesses around the world to consider
becoming a 'toptravelsite' giving
them access to a larger market of
travelers seeking greater choices
of travel expertise and services.
The original website has been involved
in internet travel since 1995 but
the current format was created in
2005. The site operators are pleased
with the initial six months growth
of between 200 to 300 travel clients
representing a few thousand different
travel choices and anticipate steady
growth of the site by both travel
visitors and travel operators in 2006
and beyond.
You can find out what is currently
on offer by visiting the website.
A LIVING WILL......
A man and his wife were sitting in
the living room and he said to her,
"Just so you know, I never want to
live in a vegetative state, dependent
on some machine and fluids from a
bottle. If that ever happens, just
pull the plug."
His wife got up, unplugged the TV
and threw out all of his beer.
REFLECTIONS....
I used to have a handle on life, but
it broke.
Don't take life too seriously; no
one gets out alive.
I'm not a complete idiot; some parts
are missing.
LET SLEEPING DOGS......
A couple hadn't been getting along
for years, so the husband thinks,
"I'll buy my wife a cemetary plot
for her birthday."
You can imagine her disappointment.
The next year, her birthday rolls
around again and he doesn't give her
anything.
She says, "Why didn't you get me a
birthday present?'
He says, "Why should I? You didn't
use what I got you last year."
DEAR LORD.....
So far today I've been doing alright.....I
have not gossiped, been greedy, grumpy,
nasty or selfish or self-indulgent,
I have not whined, complained, cursed
and have not charged anything to my
credit cards...But....
I will be getting out of bed in a
minute and I think that very shortly
I will really need your help....
TWO THOUSAND AND SIX....
May your best day in 2005 be your
worst day in 2006....
