Presentation: Chris Ronneseth - Adventure Experts!

 Many people are unclear about the travel industry. Travel agents are often thought to be the same as real estate agents. Becoming a travel agent or more specifically a travel agent with offices at home is a exciting career change or retirement option. Some people do it full time, while many do as a part-time business. A travel agent books travel for customers and suppliers are paid a commission on the reservation. For bookings that suppliers do not pay a commission to a travel agent may also charge the customer a service fee for your time. An example is that if you were to book a hotel for a customer, a hotel, then send a check to the agency after the client checked out. Most hotels pay 10% of hotel price before taxes and fees. One night hotel booking $ 100 per mean $ 10 per night for the travel agent who made the booking. This hotel would cost the same whether the customer uses a travel agent or book through the hotel directly. In many cases, the travel agent can get a better price. It costs nothing to the client to use the travel agent unless the travel agency charges a service fee. Can anyone do this? To work with suppliers, you must have an account set up with the supplier. Most require an agency to hold an IATAN, CLIA or ARC number. IATAN stands for International Airlines Travel Agent Network. Represents CLIA Cruise Lines International Association. ARC means Airline Reporting Corporation. Each of these memberships requires different things, including sales, money in the bank, experience or training in the industry, and membership fees. Many require errors and omissions insurance of $ 1,000,000 or more. For the average travel agencies, membership is not a possibility with some organizations so the agent will join an agency and work as an independent agent or a foreign agent. There are also advantages of working with an agency because most travel agents can not make enough in sales with a particular supplier to obtain higher commission levels and bonuses. Working with an agency with many agents can increase the agent's commission rates obtained due to the joint sale of all staff of the agency. Support is also a very important aspect of being a successful agent. Agents who do not work with others tend to feel more isolated and have to learn to do everything alone. Since no agent can have the experience of being in all parts of the world or staying at every hotel or resort, with others you can get really useful advice. The future of travel agencies is always questioned. The truth is that the industry has changed in many ways. Some changes were for the better, some worse. Many airlines have cut commissions for travel agents. However, there are many other vendors who are paying travel agents more than they were ten years ago. Cruises can be booked only for the rich and now on all cruises accounting result. Each year, more and more going on cruises. Most people say they want to go on a cruise at least once and many who go home the first ever want another book. You can earn commission on many travel reservations. Hotels Rental cars Tour Packages Cruises Some airline tickets International airline tickets Travel Insurance Ground transportation including limos Attraction Tickets Train tickets People need all the travel arrangements at some point in time. Those who take road trips need hotel reservations. Those who need to travel for business inputs needed for airlines, car rental and hotel reservations. Families want to experience the holidays with their loved ones. People visit family and relatives. Most people who make money they say they are going to go take a vacation. Newlyweds go on their honeymoon. You're not selling something that is difficult to sell. People contact you for help, you are calling or approaching them trying to sell something you do not want. Public education is the most important thing any travel agent must do. Most people put travel agents in the same category as real estate agents. They believe that the additional costs to use a travel agent. This is false. In many cases, a travel agent can get a better price than the general public through the suppliers who work only with travel agents. Many people do not know all the options to book a holiday. A good travel agent does. Once people are educated on how a travel agent gets paid, who are more willing to work with travel agents. If a person knows that if he or she lets you book a hotel and it will cost the same price regardless, he or she will work with you. It is important that people know how you can help save time and money on their travel arrangements. So how do you get into the industry? Many people think they should go to school or certification. This is not true. You can enter the industry and begin training. I do not recommend anyone spend thousands on a travel school until he or she knows that this is a race that he or she really wants to. The truth is that they have to spend thousands of people to receive training. There are many courses free to travel agents from suppliers. There are also organizations such as ICTA (Institute of Certified Travel Agents) who offer courses as more years of experience in the industry. CLIA also offers courses. There are some agencies that offer training. Even if you decide this is a career you'd like to accomplish, it is not necessary to spend thousands to become a travel agent educated and competent. There are many courses you can take with suppliers and organizations to get a better education in travel. I really think that a hand "in approach is the best way to become a better travel agent. Learning to work with suppliers and how to find the information your customers need is an important part of becoming a good travel agent. How can you find an agency to work? There are many organizations dedicated to independent travel agents. NACT and OSSN are the main organizations. NACT stands for National Commissioners Association of Travel Agents. Means OSSN Outside Sales Support Network. You can also search online for travel agent programs at home. I would never recommend anyone spending a lot of money to start this business. Key to the first try and see if it is something you really want to make and receive training before investing too much money on it. Involved in the industry's first and see if it is a career that is best for you. Dugan Jennifer Dugan CTA Owner Travel Travel since 1993 [http://www.duganstravels.com] Copyright 2004 Jennifer Dugan

Machu Picchu

 Machu Picchu, which means "old peak" is an ancient Inca city located in the Andes in Peru, atop a ridge. It consists of over 200 separate buildings, mostly residences but also temples, storage structures and other public buildings, all built in the style of Inca architectural feature of polygonal masonry, where the stone blocks were cut and s 'followed suit almost perfectly without using mortar. The blocks fit together so well that even the blade of a knife is not able to be fit between them. Also unique is the integration of landscape architecture; Existing stone formations were used in the construction of structures, sculptures are carved into the rock, water flows through cisterns and stone channels, and temples hanging precipices. Much of this amazing city that still exists today, more than 500 years after its completion, and as such was added to the new compilation of the Seven Wonders of World.It estimate that about 1200 people, mostly women and children, were living in Machu Picchu. Around 1527, the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the region, destroying many Inca cities, but were never found Machu Picchu. However, they bought with them smallpox, which spread to the city and killed at least 50% of the population. Accordingly, the Incas fell into civil war and by 1532, Machu Picchu is almost forgotten. In 1911, a Yale professor, Hiram Bingham, rediscovered Machu Picchu with the help of some local guides and bought the old city to the world's attention. Also note that it also removed hundreds of valuable artifacts site, many of whom still live in England despite the pleadings of the governments of Peru have the returned.Just why Machu Picchu was built in First is subject to many theories. Some assumed it was and "Ilacta", a village built for controlling the economy of other regions conquered Inca. Others argue that this may have been built as a prison for those who committed heinous crimes against Inca society. Still others believe it was built solely for the purposes of retirement to defend against invaders.Most widespread, however, is that Machu Picchu was an estate built for the Inca emperor, Pachacutec, he was chosen for his position relative to sacred landscape features like mountains, which are in alignment with key astronomical events of importance to the Incas. The largest stone is Intihuatana, known as "the coupling point of the Sun" because it was believed the sun to keep its place at the time of the equinoxes, when the sun is above the pillar, casting no shade to all. As the worshipers of the sun god, it would have been of particular importance to the Incas. (Incredibly, despite surviving for centuries in tact, the stone was damaged in September 2000 when a crane used by an advertising company, to film an advertisement for beer, fell on the stone, a broken slice of ancient stone.) site of Machu Picchu may well have been used for ritual sacrifices, common to the Incas. Mummies found on the site were only women and children, who were the usual victims of these sacrifices. The Incas believed that offerings to their gods to appease them and to ensure better harvests and greater prosperity. Usually, those selected for sacrifice were the children physically perfect important leaders and clergy, the Incas, arguing that these facts for a better sacrifice. Children would be selected one year before the sacrifice to be made, then would be fed a diet richer than they were accustomed, essentially "fatten" for the gods. Following this, they would be taken during a pilgrimage to the high peaks, (making the place Machu Picchu). The sacrifices would be given maize beer and coca leaves to alleviate their senses and make them more sensitive to their plight. Some were left to succumb to the elements, others were strangled or suffocated. The mummified bodies of some were found to have had their clothes tight around them in the ribs were crushed and basins dislocated.One latter theory, for the construction of Machu Picchu, trying to explain the seemingly impossible task of building a This city is developing in such an inaccessible region, without using modern tools, is that put forward by Erich von Daniken in his 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods. In this paper, it suggests that the gods worshiped by the Incas were actually visitors from other planets. These extraterrestrial beings required the construction of a city that was aligned with key astronomical events, providing maps and help make building materials with their "chariots of fire" and promising to return to check the progress of work. According to Daniken, sacrifices were made to expedite the return of these "gods".
