370 - No Travel Agent is an Island

Podcast Number 370
SHOW NOTES
English poet John Donne said, "No man [or woman or travel agent] is an island." Okay that was said back in the 1600's so I added to the quote to fit the times and occasion. What does the quote have to do with travel agents? Well many home based agents may feel like they are on a deserted island because they have no one turn turn to when a problem or question comes up. In this Show, Lorene explains why NACTA is your lifeline. NACTA offers many benefits including their "digest" where travel agents can post questions or problems and quickly get the questions answered or problems solved by other travel agents. NACTA offers many other benefits to travel agents including educational opportunities, fam trips, an annual conference and much more. Listen in and find out what Lorene has to say about the many benefits NACTA offers for travel agents.
