Authorized Travel Agents work specifically as travel coordinators for corporate clients or with specific authorized travel agencies. An authorized travel agency is a vendor that is approved by the government to arrange travel for state and federal government employees who need to travel for business. As an authorized travel agent, you will sometimes be able to negotiate working from home. Be advised, however, that there are some companies and agencies that will prefer you to be active in-house with their staff. A plus side to this career is that you also have the benefit of major discounts with your personal travel.
Organize a Travel Group
Getting ready for a trip involves attention to a number of details. When organizing a travel group for any type of trip, there are specific issues that must be addressed before the group gets underway. Here are a few of the basics.
Rebuild Travel Trailers
Rebuilding a travel trailer is a time-consuming but rewarding project. From a cost perspective it is usually less expensive to rebuild than to replace the trailer. Rebuilding gives you the opportunity to upgrade countertops, cabinets and appliances.
Replace Travel Trailer Carpet
Carpet is the third largest investment people make when they own a home. Replacing the carpet in a travel trailer isn't as costly, but you want to do it right the first time. Even in a travel trailer, you want the carpet to express your personality. This doesn't mean you need to choose crazy colors or patterns. Your personality shows in the appearance of the carpet; worn, stained and old carpet makes an impression on people you may not realize. When it comes to the tight quarters of a travel trailer spend the money to replace the carpet; don't try and fix it. The lifespan of carpet is, on average, 10 years.
Join a Senior Travel Group
Joining a senior travel group can be a great way to see famous landmarks, make new friends and visit places all around the world. Group travel offers seniors an easy way to explore since most of the details, including accommodations and transportation, will be taken care of for you and the group price is often less than if you traveled alone.
