Survey finds travel agent users more satisfied with travel experienceNew York, NY, February 27th, 2014 — The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) today announced the release of its new study, Value of Travel Agents, which was sponsored by Carnival Cruise Lines. The primary objective of this study was to measure the value of the travel agency channel and to show whether working with travel agents enhances the travel experience. And the results confirmed just that, and more.Findings from the Value of Travel Agents study, which was conducted by MMGY Global, discovered that over half of Millennial (59%), Xer (53%) and Boomer (58%) leisure travelers who used travel agents believe that vacations planned with travel agents were better than those organized without their assistance. Not surprisingly, consumers that use an agent travel more (average 4.7 trips) than consumers that don’t use a travel agent (average 3.6 trips). “The Value of the Travel Agent study shows that people who use a travel agent are more likely to be satisfied with their trip. The research also provides insight into how and where travel agents can expand their businesses." said ASTA CEO Zane Kerby.

Develop a plan
A Marketing Plan is part of a Business Plan, but is much more brief.
Imagine. Create. Balance.
What’s been your biggest drawback/ hang-up in planning your marketing in the past?
Your plan needs goals2 sets of responsibilities:1.One is to manage today's business.2.The other is to manage tomorrow's business.
What are goals?Goals are the written milestones you pass on your
way toward your vision.
