01-21-2016 01-20-2016 Top Five Reasons for Choosing a Travel Agent - #4 Safety & Security

Safety and security have always been top of mind with leisure travelers. Since 9/11, continued unrest on the Middle East and now Europe, it has become more important than ever. Travelers are seeking out safety/security information that provides them with up to date information on travel destinations. In the world we live in today, this is critical.! One cannot make assumptions about any destination, especially international, without having the insight from up to date information, whether it is political, health related, terrorism, or weather related. And we know how rapidly this can change. ! ! Travel agents provide a terrific service to their clients by providing this information on a timely basis.

It was 1869. Ten men in four boats were about to embark on a journey that would cover almost 1,000 miles through uncharted canyons, and change the west forever. They were led by John Wesley Powell, a professor who had lost his right arm as an officer during the Civil War. Three months later only seven of the original company plus their one -arm Civil War hero-leader would emerge from the depths of the Grand Canyon at the mouth of the Virgin River. Powell became a national celebrity, as famous in the United States as Neil Armstrong would become after walking on the moon – a feat that occurred, coincidentally, exactly a century later.
