Travel Agent Professional has itsroots in Home Based Trade, the first maga-zine of its kind, started by Joel Abels in2004. Joel and Lenore Abels ran TravelTrade for nearly half a century – it wasstarted by her grandfather, John S. Lewis,and her father, Sidney Lewis, in 1929, andthey took the publication over after hergrandfather’s passing.
Under Joel’s direction, the company grewto be one of the travel agent industry’sleading publications, reaching more than 45,000 agents throughout NorthAmerica. It spawned a famous series of trade shows and three monthly maga-zines – Cruise Trade, Tour Trade and Home Based Trade.
The Abels also garnered enormous respect – Joel received the Neal Award,called “the Pulitzer Prize of the business press,” for his hard-hitting editorials.
On a personal note, after working with Joel for over a decade and staying withhim until the end, I grew to truly care for and respect the man. He was like asecond father to me. Joel was old school, he stood by his word and believed inhis work. There will never be another.
While nobody can replace this industry legend, we’re hoping that this new pub-lication, which reunites the original Home Based Trade editorial board, will beable to carry on his passion for travel and those who sell it.

Joel, thanks for your service....To our God. Because of your devotion, our Creator was surely waiting at
the gates of heaven for your arrival. There is a need for guidance and advice
about travel throughout the Heavenly realm. There was only one choice for
this assignment.
To your family. Through good times and the most difficult parents can
face, your childhood sweetheart was and still is the star in your eye.
To your country. Because of dedicated, heroic service in defense of free-
dom and democracy, you allowed us who served after you the privilege of
career service in the world’s best military. We thank you...standing at attention.
To your industry. A beacon in the waters of travel, you were able to sepa-
rate the wheat from the chaff and guide our efforts to make the dreams of
millions of vacationers come true.
To all of God’s small creatures. Lost and forgotten, but not without love,
you championed those agencies dedicated to helping animals who could not
help themselves. Oh... we know God has put you in charge of any ferals that
have made it to Heaven. Enjoy.

The Largest DemographicTarget Group
In my last months article “The Graying of America,” we focused
on the oldest demographic target group, seniors. In this article, we
go back to the youngest and largest demographic group, families.
At approximately 45-50 million households strong, the family mar-
ket is clearly the largest demographic target group in America.
Demographically, the family structure has changed from the 1960s
and ‘70s where typically just dad worked, to the ‘80s and beyond,
where family structure is dramatically marked by two working par-
ents, not to mention single working parents. And this demograph-
ic change has had an impact on key psychographic drivers, which
has further affected travel patterns.
Let’s examine how these changes have impacted travel patterns and
purchase decisions.
Demographics & Psychographics...
5
Travel Agent Professional
1. The phenomenon of two working parents has generated a greater sense
of guilt regarding vacations. Parents concerned with losing connections with their chil-
dren see family vacations as a priority, a way to share memorable experiences and
reconnect.
2. Parents seek out oppor tunities on vacations that combine family activities,
organized children’s programs and parents-only time.
3. In addition to the usual family travel timeframes, parents are less reticent about
taking their children out of school for a vacation, especially if they perceive that the trip will
provide an educational, fulfilling experience. My wife teaches in an upscale elementary school
and she tells me that the kids vacation throughout the year.
4. Travel with grandparents has increased, as have larger family reunions
and even children traveling with grandparents without their parents.
5. Travel horizons have expanded dramatically with parents taking their chil-
dren on trips across the globe.
Family Travel
(continued on page 6)
December 2010
From a psychographic standpoint, family travel actually has
several characteristic similarities to senior travel.
1. It’s not cheap! Trips to Disney, cruises or all-inclusive
land resorts are not inexpensive, which means parents, like
seniors, are going to be very value focused, making sure the
trip provides all the amenities and programs the whole
family can share.
2. Parents are very concerned with three important ele-
ments: safety, strong children’s programs and enriching
experiences. To be successful selling family travel, you must
address these elements in your communications, immedi-
ately satisfying this concern of parents.
3. More and more, especially with children over 10 years, par-
ents are taking children on vacations to worldwide destinations.
Here are the steps required to respond to family travel
psychographics and capture a significant share of the family
demographic group:
BUILDING
CUSTOMER
LOYALTY
A wonderful family vacation experience
that meets or exceeds expectations will
def in i te ly create loya l customers and
exce l lent word o f mouth re ferra l s .
Parents interact with other parents con-
stantly (PTA, Little League, dance class,
etc.) and positive reactions to a family
vacation are “priceless.”
• Additionally, children are great promot-
ers. Put them on your mailing list and send
them materials from different vacation alter-
natives. There is nothing better than having
the kids constantly reminding mom and dad
that it is time for the next vacation.
• Remember, like seniors and ultra luxu-
ry clients, this is a very service-centric
audience, and the personalized service you
provide is an investment in their next trip,
plus the referrals.
• Don’t forget to ask your current family
clients about their other family members,
siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc.
That is how groups are built. Families trav-
eling together with same-age children have
built-in friends who get to share the experi-
ence and create a referral multiplier effect
when they get home. And, family reunions
are a great source of group business.
• The last spin-off is that when the par-
ents are ready to plan a trip just for them-
selves, they will contact you, as well.
And don’t forget, just about everyone
you come in contact with is part of a fami-
ly, one way or another, so the potential
for family travel is everywhere!!
MARKETING1. If you have a strong family market in your community, it
is important that you enhance your knowledge of travel
opportunities so that families have the sense that you can
provide expertise in your service.
2. Be prepared to provide a litany of information to par-
ents to address all questions, especially regarding safety,
babysitting, children’s activities and programs, etc.
3. Don’t just promote trips during the summer and school
vacations. Promote excellent opportunities even in non-tra-
ditional family travel timeframes.
4. Promote travel opportunities across the globe. It is
norma l to see ch i ldren on summer Europe and
Mediterranean sailings.
5. Find and promote vacations that offer unique experi-
ences, especially those that are participatory.

We recently completed our annual
NACTA convention at the Westin Diplomat in
Hollywood, FL and aboard the Allure of the Seas!
As always it was a great event with many infor-
mative presentations by our preferred suppliers.
One of the presentations was done by Travelex,
one of our Insurance supplier members. I was
impressed by how few agents attended our pre-
sentation, and how few seemed to know much
about travel insurance in general; but they were
there learing!

Are You Into
Insurance?
Rusty Pickett, ECCShellback Cruises www.shellbackcruises.com
one of the presentations was done by Travelex, one of our insurance supplier members. I was
puzzled by how few agents attended it, and how few seemed to know much about travel insurance in
general – but those who attended came away knowing a lot more!
It’s my opinion that travel insurance is one of the most critical issues a travel professional must be
knowledgeable of. How many of us have taken the time to know insurance to the extent that we can
effectively counsel our clients on what’s best for them? I suspect far too few – especially those that are
just starting out in our business.
I would suspect that many just tack on the supplier insurance and are comfortable that they have done
their due diligence. I submit that they have not. As an example, how many agents know that one major
cruise line’s basic cancellation protection plan states that the “standard plan is not insurance?” Have you
done the comparison between supplier insurance and third party insurance?
9Some questions/comments to consider:
1. Supplier insurance generally only covers that portion of the trip that the supplier tickets. Ifpre/post arrangements are made or independent air is used, a significant portion of the trip won’t be insured.
2. Do you understand pre-existing conditions? Each company’s policy is different and the cover-age for policies within the same company may be different. How do you ensure that your clients ortheir family members don’t have pre-existing conditions that need to be covered?
3. Do you understand primary versus secondary medical coverage and which policies arewhich? Virtually all supplier medical coverage and many third party medical coverage plans are sec-ondary – your client would have to file claims with all other avenues of insurance before filing with thetravel insurance company. I sell only primary medical coverage through the third party insurance com-panies that I am licensed with. Your clients will thank you if they have to submit a claim!
4. Most clients buy insurance for cancellation coverage. Most folks really need travel insurancefor medical coverage. How many clients know what their medical coverage is outside of the UnitedStates? How many know that Medicare covers virtually nothing outside of the this country? How manyknow what their coverage is for medical evacuation? Most HMOs cover nothing outside of the U.S., andthis cost can be more than $50,000!
5. How many agents require clients to sign a waiver if they decline travel protection insurance? Ifound that once I required a signed waiver declining insurance, more than 95% of my clients purchased it.
6. Finally, how many agents purchase insurance for themselves when they travel? Not as manyas you would think! Many third party insurance companies offer annual travel agent travel insuranceplans at very affordable rates, and the plans are commissionable!
If you have not spent the time studying travel insurance, you are risking a lawsuit and damage to your errorsand omissions protection. There have been too many horror stories reported by the travel law communityto not be proficient. Pick your preferred supplier(s) and get the training to be an insurance professional!

Do you ever feel like you are a major character in aCapital One commercial? Well, let’s hope you never seea group of barbarians bearing down on you, or a hugeboulder rolling your way, but could there be someoneelse this applies to?
What’s In Your
Wallet?
What is in your wallet? Are you or your Hosting program keeping your
wallet on a diet? Do you feel like your wallet is
shrinking instead of getting fatter no matter how
hard you work? Do you feel like you are paying so
many fees that you never see the light of day? If
so, you are not alone.
While attending a travel convention recently, I had
the opportunity of meeting many agents from
across the country and quite a few had com-
plaints regarding the fees collected by their Hosts.
Some agents also expressed concerned regarding
what they see as “shrinking commissions” paid by
their Hosts, along with high membership fees. Yes,
some Hosting programs are nothing more than
card mills, but there are several agents affiliated
with what we consider mainstream Hosts who
are feeling more than their share of the pinch.
While I am thrilled to see more and more agents
deciding to leave some of these card mills, I am
concerned about those agents who feel they need
to leave what should be a good Hosting program
because they believe they can’t make a profit,
given all of the fees combined with low commis-
sion.
Most of these agents leaving their Hosts are
either getting a CLIA or a travel seller’s identifica-
tion number through NACTA or OSSN. This is
fine, but what we are going to see are a lot of
small independent agencies struggling to grow
their commission levels and compete with the
(continued on page 12)

December 2010
larger agencies. It is tough to go it alone and my
hopes are that these agents who are breaking off
to do just that will do extensive research and align
themselves with a Hosting program that will sup-
port them when support is needed.
Another concern some of these agents have is
with discounting and the encouragement some
receive from their Hosts to do so. (Unfortunately,
this is not isolated to Hosts as I found out when I
sat in on a recent LEADING travel membership
organization and the lecturer spoke of discounting
to clients.) Prior to completely severing ties with
your current Host (especially if you are affiliated
with a strong and reputable one) be honest with
them, address your concerns and ask if you can
work together to resolve some of these issues.
For example, if your issue is not receiving commis-
sion payments in a timely manner, stress that this
is income you count on for your monthly support
and late payment is creating difficulties for you in
meeting your obligations.
For a Host that treats its independent agents as
employees, remind them that you are a contractor
and not an employee. If they become angry and
threatening, walk away.
Are you another reason your wallet is shrinking?
Don’t rely on your Host to support you. You love
the business you are in and have a passion for the
work you do. You care about your clients, but
don’t think new clients will just come into the
fold. Not true. If you want good sales, go out and
get them!
You qualify your clients to find out their interests,
now do the same with yourself and tap into that
interest and grow new business. Join some busi-
ness support and lead groups. If you are a wine
enthusiast, tap into that market by visiting local
wine stores, wine tasting groups, etc. and talk
to the owners or managers about
working together on a promotion.
Most agents are friends with other
agents, so why not get together and
do a joint promotion and split the
commission? I’ve done it many
times. It does work and can be
very profitable.

Agents who are dissatisfied with their current
Hosting program need to stop and take stock of
which direction they want to go. One of the first
things you need to do is sit down and create a
game plan. While you don’t need to do a full busi-
ness plan, you do need to give yourself direction.
Decide what your overall goals are for the imme-
diate future and make projections for at least
three years down the road. Determine the best
course for reaching these goals. In order to do
this, you will need to compare the costs of going
it completely alone (including lower supplier
commission levels), or affiliating with a new
Hosting program.
Research, research, research. Find out the costs of
the Hosting programs you are interested in. It is
perfectly acceptable to ask the commission levels
each Host has with the suppliers. Find out what
the initial fees will be as well as what the yearly
renewal fees will be. Are there going to be
monthly fees? What about mailing fees? Get
everything in writing.
Will you be penalized if you do not reach a spe-
cific goal, or terminated by the Host? Express
your concerns to any and all Hosts you are inter-
ested in. Be honest with yourself. If a Host has
specific requirements in sales and you know you
will not be able to reach those goals, don’t affiliate
with that Host.
There are many wonderful Hosting programs out
there and if you align with the right one to fit
your particular needs, you can save yourself a lot
of work and costs. Don’t be afraid about talking
to agents who belong to different programs or to
those who have gone it alone.
If you are still intent on gaining your complete
independence, please investigate membership in a
consortium. I cannot begin to stress the benefits
of a good consortium, such as marketing dollars,
special promotions for your clients and support
and assistance with supplier issues.
Some agents have expressed a bit of confusion in
differentiating between a Host and a consortium.
Please keep in mind that when you align with a
Host you use the Host’s affiliations. The Host is
the one that has the supplier reps for their partic-
ular state. When you have your own CLIA (or
other travel seller) number, YOU have your own
affiliations and no matter which consortium you
join or do not join, you will still have your own
identity and your own supplier reps. A consor-
tium is primarily a membership marketing associa-
tion and a good consortium is well worth every
penny of membership.
A consortium is primarily a membership marketing
association and a good consortium is well worth every

By Sherry Laskin, ACCNACTA Chapter Director, North & East Central Florida www.sherrylaskin.com But what do we say when a client requests an inside
stateroom? Does your voice falter a bit? Maybe you are
new to the cruise industry and haven’t yet experienced
cave-dwelling. If you’ve ever booked an inside state-
room, you know that it is similar to living in a walk-in
closet, with a few conveniences.
If you haven’t tried an interior stateroom, you should do
so as soon as you can. You’ll love it or hate it. Either
way, you’ll have the passion and knowledge when your
cost-conscience client calls for a quote.
Over the years, I’ve cruised in a few inside staterooms. I
have to say, I’ve never felt so rested than when I’ve had
to go windowless.
Last year I hosted a NACTA seminar at sea to New
England and Canada. I experienced fourteen days in a
windowless room. But there is a trick to doing it. The
TVs on almost every cruise ship have at least one chan-
nel devoted to a live camera broadcasting 24/7 with a
view to the outside.
For those of us who are primarily cruise selling travel
agents, you know how important it is to have a geographically-
educated mind. We can correctly pronounce Civitavecchia, gasp in
disbelief when a client books a “drive-by” past Antarctica and be
on standby alert when the inevitable hurricane season arrives.

Our ship had a Bridge Cam. At night when I
retired, I kept my TV turned on, sound off and
tuned in to the Bridge Cam. As dawn approached
and the sun came up, the cabin gradually “awak-
ened” with onscreen daylight. It was the perfect
virtual window.
Allow me to digress a bit to share one day of our
Canada/New England cruise.
On the morning that we quietly slipped into
downtown Portland, Maine, my virtual window
foretold of a beautiful fall day. The sun was shining
and the temperature was hovering around forty-
five degrees. With a bit of skillful layering of
clothes, it was sure to be a perfect fall afternoon.
As in many European ports of call, downtown
Portland is right there as you step off the ship. Exit
the security area, turn left and start walking. My
biggest decision for the day was where to sample
the local lobster and seafood chowder.
A couple of locals directed me to Gilbert’s, a small
hole-in-the-wall on Commercial St. a couple of
blocks from the port. I sat at the counter and
started a conversation with a couple of customers
and the counter-waiter. I spent an hour listening to
local banter and shared my cruise itinerary. They
were in disbelief that we were headed to Quebec
City in the face of an impending snow storm. But
that’s an entirely different story for another time.
Getting back to windowless vs. oceanview or bal-
cony staterooms, we need to do what our clients
request. There’s nothing better than a balcony, but
when all else fails don’t poo-poo the interior cab-
ins; keep your enthusiasm. Up-sell if you can, but
when all else fails, agree, agree, agree with their
decision. Point out that they will sleep like babies.
Share my trick for the virtual window. They may
not use it, but will appreciate your understanding
and advice. No one wants to feel like a cheap-
skate and it’s up to you to make them feel as
important as your suite clientele. They may forev-
er be inside stateroom people, but they’ll return
to you because you made them feel special.
Happy New Year &
Happy Selling in
2011!
If you haven’t tried an interior stateroom, you should do so
as soon as you can. You’ll love it or hate it. Either way,
you’ll have the passion and knowledge when your cost-
conscience client calls for a quote.‘ ’

Don’t let the
Parade Pass you by!In the last issue I explained how Dolly Levy, thetitle character in Hello Dolly is really the perfectanalogy of the ultimate travel agent. By “arrang-ing things,” she creates extraordinary happinessfor her “clients.”
However, even Dolly, with her vivacious outlookon life, needs to remind herself of all of theopportunities in life. Travel agents need to dothe same! And while obstacles will appear, youmust understand that life is like a parade ofexciting new opportunities. And like Dolly youneed to sing:
Before the parade passes byI’ve gotta get some life back into my lifeI’m ready to move out in front I’ve had enough of just passing by lifeWith the rest of them, with the best of themI can hold my head up highFor I’ve got a goal againI’ve got a drive againI wanna fell my heart coming alive againBefore the parade passes by

The Power of Pops
20While travel agents provide adventures you have to remember that life is an adventure. Thissong is all about confidence and taking a risk to be “with the best of them.” So, like Dolly, hold your headup high and know that what you do is a valuable and needed service.
We also learn from Dolly that all clients are important and have different dreams. Sometimes in the trav-el business, we get caught up in words like “luxury” and try to define it. The fact is that luxury is differentfor each client. For some it is the top of the line, over the top service, but for others it is someone elsemaking the bed and providing a meal. In other words, “elegance” is a state of mind that you can deliverto anyone.
As two of Dolly’s clients discover:We got elegance, we got built in eleganceAnd with elegance…elegance…elegance…elegance…eleganceWe’ll carry it off!
Dolly created a story and her clients saw themselves in it. This is the perfect job description of anexceptional travel agent. Your job is painting the picture so compellingly that your clients are therebefore they are even there!
While many thought that travel agents were doomed, the opposite is currently happening. The resur-gence of travel agents is like the most famous number from this musical where Dolly is welcomed backin grand style. Instead of waiters, picture your clients singing anddancing for you with a slight adjustment to the lyrics:
(Clients sing)Hello Agent! Well, hello Agent!It’s so nice to have you back where you belongYou’re looking swell, AgentWe can tell, AgentYou’re still glowin’, you’re still crowin’You’re still goin’ strong.(You sing)So here’s my hat fellasI’m stayin’ where I’m at, fellas(Clients sing)Promise you’ll never go away again!
Whenyou are glowin’ andcrowin’ and going strong, yourclients will make you promise tostay. Just have confidence, knowthat you help provide memoriesthat last a lifetime and don’t letthe great opportunities of todaypass you by. The truth is, in only amoment clients have the oppor-tunity to see that they need youfor life! Or with another slightvariation on lyrics, your clientswill sing to you:
It only takes a momentTo talk with you and thenMy heart knows in a momentI will never be alone again
