So, when I travel for pleasure, I
have a number of travel goals that I
keep track of. I count the number of
countries I’ve visited, and the
number of UNESCO World Heritage
Sites I’ve seen. A well-travelled
friend once told me that a seasoned
traveler has visited more countries
than their age. I’m well ahead of my
age now…how about you?
|
|
When traveling in North America (at
least the US & Canada), I also track
the number of
states/provinces/territories I’ve
visited. I also track the number of
national parks I’ve seen. Many of
you wouldn’t be surprised to know
that I track all of this on a
spreadsheet. (See my other article
in this newsletter about downloading
the Travel Spreadsheet I designed
for you!)
|
|
In my last newsletter, I asked
agents what is important for them to
experience/track on their personal
vacations. Some agents like to get
to know the local people or
experience the great or unique local
cuisine.
|
|
In my next newsletter, I’ll share
some of the travel tips that you
shared with me that you pass along
to your clients.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery

For the El Cid properties in
Mazatlan, I always recommend that
agents quote and book our
All-Inclusive Elite plan, as opposed
to just the all-inclusive plan. The
Elite plan is offered by our tour
operator partners, WestJet Vacations
and Sunwing. It includes a number of
perks including a guaranteed ocean
view room, check-in at the Elite
lounges, access to the adults-only
pool, access to all 4 properties (as
opposed to only 2 or 3) and more.
|
|
You can find more information and
perks of the AI Elite plan HERE.
|
|
I thought you may want to easily
track your travel goals/progress
too, so I put together a simple
spreadsheet to track the number of
countries, UNESCO sites,
states/provinces/territories and
national parks that you have
visited. You can download the
spreadsheet HERE and
fill it out yourself.
|
|
Don’t do this at work, but it maybe
a nice evening project sometime
while watching TV. Again,
you can download the spreadsheet HERE

currently?
