Specialize Your Travel Agency by Helping Families With Autism to Travel

Podcast Number 413

SHOW NOTES

April is Autism Awareness Month and in this show, Nicole Thibault is going to talk about how this relates to travel and to travel professionals. Most families with autistic children believe that it is not possible to take a vacation because of the challenges inherent in traveling with their autistic children. A well-informed travel professional, a travel professional who becomes a certified autism travel professional, can change the world for these families. Nicole talks about some of the challenges and the resources available to overcome these travel challenges for families with autistic children. Now is a great time to take the certification course and become a certified autism travel professional.

382 - Join the Vacation Rental Property Boom

Podcast Number 382

SHOW NOTES

Vacation rental properties are expanding at an alarming rate but this market has left the travel professional sitting on the sidelines - until now. Your clients may want to travel with a group of friends, family members or just want an alternative to a hotel room. You now have the opportunity to offer your clients a range of alternatives from villas in France, apartments in New York city, a condo in Orlando or a log cabin where they can experience the outdoors. And that's just a sampling because there is so much more plus you make the presentation to your clients using your own branding and you earn a commission when you make the sale. Rentals Combined will partner with you to make these great accommodations available to your clients. The properties offered by Rentals Combined are all professionally managed properties to insure your clients have a great experience and when you book you will know immediately if the property is available. Joshua Viner and Rebecca Aldous from Rentals Combined join us in this show so you can learn more about this great opportunity.
