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....
