Travel Agent - September 29, 2008 - (Page 10)

FROM THE EDITOR Are You a Successful Travel Consultant Under the Age of 30? IF SO, YOU MAY END UP STARRING IN A TRAVEL AGENT MAGAZINE COVER FEATURE. A number of newcomers to the travel agency community have made it big. They’ve succeeded in launching lucrative careers because they’ve used their entrepreneurial skills to approach the art of selling travel in ways that the generations before never dreamed of. Also, many have succeeded because they’ve had great mentors in the form of agency owners or managers or consortia heads, who have shared their vast expanse of knowledge with them. Travel Agent magazine is looking for 30 of these individuals. Age, however, is not the only qualifying factor. To be a part of this exclusive section, you must be able to detail the achievements that you feel have made you a successful travel consultant. Here’s how it works, in five easy steps. 1. Only you can nominate yourself. Provide us with your name, agency, agency location, e-mail and phone number and your age. 2. Tell us, in 150 words, about yourself, keeping in mind the following questions. I What is your background? What did you study in school and what is your former professional background? I What do you love best about selling travel? I What is the most interesting travel you’ve sold lately? I Who are your clients? I Where have you traveled? I How do you feel about being a travel agent? I What agency or industry accolades have your received for your efforts? 3. Provide us with a 100-word endorsement from your agency owner/manager or consortia head (if you own your own business). 4. Provide us with a .jpg photo of yourself (300 dpi), preferably in an exotic destination you’ve been able to visit. 5. Send all of this information to us at 30under30@questex.com. The editorial team at Travel Agent magazine will select those 30 Under 30 candidates we believe are the industry’s top rising stars. Hurry, the deadline to submit is October 10. Editorial Director Ruthanne Terrero CORRECTION In the September 1 issue of Travel Agent, the photographs on pages 37 and 38 were incorrectly identified as being of The Fasano in São Paulo. The correct images appear in the story on our website at www.travelagent central.com. Travel Agent regrets the error. 10 | TravelAgent September 29, 2008 RUTHANNE TERRERO, CTC EDITORIAL DIRECTOR CONNECTING YOU For more from Ruthanne Terrero, visit www.travelagent central.com/edletter http://www.travelagentcentral.com/edletter http://www.travelagentcentral.com http://www.travelagentcentral.com/edletter http://www.travelagentcentral.com
