Next Evolution In On-Line Travel Booking

InteleTravel has found a way to mix the old and the new means of travel booking, bringing greater discounts for travelers, whether for business or pleasure.

(PRWEB) January 27, 2005 -- Once upon a time, brick and mortar travel agents booked family vacations or business trips. Agents offered better deals on hotels and airlines than the general public could find. With the invent of the Internet, the rules of travel changed with sites like Travelocity and Priceline. Now a company named InteleTravel has found a way to mix the old and the new, and theyre changing the $552 billion travel industry in a big way.

Now anyone can become an Independent Travel Agent (I.A.). by visiting www.ExecutiveTravelUSA.com. In 1998, InteleTravel International revolutionized the travel industry by introducing a sales force of over 100,000 Independent Agents. Today they continue to create endless opportunity with their low cost entry into the travel business. Agents earn up to 10% commission for booking travel online, be it for themselves or for their family, friends or co-workers. For the one time $69.95 registration fee plus $7.95 monthly Internet access fee, people are finding they can be a franchise within themselves and offer discounts that other Internet sites simple cant match in terms of price, quality or both.

Sites such as Priceline and Hotwire might offer substantial discounts to visitors but they dont allow the buyer to pick their hotel or airlines. With InteleTravel, individuals become their own travel agents without having to deal with a third party. I.A.s get the best prices and they know the hotels and airlines being booked before ever making a purchase. The specially created website compares prices on all discount websites as well as all major travel providers to find the very lowest prices on airline, hotel, cruise or auto rentals.

Whether booking one trip a year for personal use or booking hundreds of business trips for a company, the low entry fee to be an I.A. is recovered from the savings of the first trip alone. I.A.s can also get FAM (familiarization) trips, which means incredible deals such as London for a week, staying at a 4 start hotel and paying less than $800.00 for two people. With some other FAM programs, if the I.A books a certain amount of people through a cruise line or property, the I.A could be entitled to a free stay.

After six years in the business InteleTravel has some impressive industry support from all major airlines like Delta, Spirit, American Airlines and Air France. They are associated with cruise lines such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises, in addition to all major hotel chains as well as Club Med. Most impressive, however, is the fact that anyone can be a travel agent. No licensing or testing is required.

ExecutiveTravelUSA.com has helped many business travelers by offering a stand-alone business selling travel while cutting their own travel expenses. Being an I.A. also has its advantages for stay-at-home moms and dads who want to make extra income but dont have time for the nine to five routine. For the small price of the accreditation fee and monthly charge, families are finding they save money on their trips but also help other friends and family members as well, all the while earning a 10% commission on any trips booked.

InteleTravel isnt just for individuals or families though. Businesses are also discovering the savings by having their own I.A. on staff to handle all their booking needs. Instead of outsourcing to travel agents theyre learning they can do the same with one account for their entire staff.

Travel Agent magazine reported on one InteleTravel I.A, Judy Suiter, president of her own management consulting firm. They claim, She books $30,000 to 40,000 in travel a year, mostly for her own business. But she says this saves her company thousands of dollars a year in travel expenses and she receives commissions on that travel, as well as good air and hotel rates."

In addition to offering exceptional rates, brand-name travel partners and business opportunities InteleTravel is ARC- and IATAN-appointed, and a member of ARTA, ASTA, CLIA, PATA and the GEM consortium. So whether its the family summer vacation to the coast or the business trip in the middle of winter, InteleTravel is meeting the needs of travelers today.
