Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) July 28, 2009

A new online travel program that helps travelers find affordable vacations–without having to search through the various travel websites–is now available from AAA Vacations, the largest full-service travel agency in the Carolinas.

“One of our consultants recently booked an all-inclusive, four-night trip to Punta Cana for $ 228 per person,” said Henshall. “Last year, that same trip would have been $ 900 or 4 times what it is this year.”

AAA travel consultants can even help travelers access other vacation packages not listed on the T2T website.

“We have our finger on the travel pulse,” Henshall said, noting that 100 AAA travel consultants are working in the Carolinas every day. “Right now an overwhelming number of vacation and travel options are available, and new vacation deals are continually added to the mix.”

Online Provider of Caribbean Vacation Packages Creates “Lifelong Customers” with Quick Response to Closure of Dominican Republic Resort

Doylestown, PA (PRWEB) December 3, 2009

Online travel agency CheapCaribbean.com was put to the test this fall when a popular all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic closed suddenly and without warning, leaving hundreds of travelers surprised and confused.

“We arrived at the airport Saturday, and when we got on the bus we learned that Sun Village had closed and they were taking us to a different resort next door,” said Tracey, who was taking time off from her job at a Harrisburg, PA law firm for a Dominican Republic vacation with three of her friends.

Back at CheapCaribbean.com’s headquarters outside of Philadelphia, the company had been notified of the closing that same day via email, and the executives and customer service agents took immediate action. They made arrangements to transfer customers to the all-inclusive Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort and Spa next door, and immediately mobilized representatives of its ground operator Turinter, instructing them to hand-deliver letters to customers on site and begin holding Q&A sessions to keep everyone informed of developments.

Dioby was one of the Turinter employees who handled the relocations of CheapCaribbean.com’s customers. Paul, an investment banker from Washington D.C., and his wife were already at the resort with only three days left of their stay, when Dioby notified them of the closing.

“Dioby was a complete trooper,” said Paul. “He went above and beyond what you would expect from most resort staff. In the midst of a difficult, uncertain, and unprecedented situation, he handled the issues with poise, grace and professionalism. You could sense his personal commitment to making things right, and that matters a lot.”

Meanwhile, CheapCaribbean.com founder “Caribbean Jim” Hobbs was on the first available flight and arrived Sunday in Puerto Plata to personally assist in transferring customers and resolving conflicts.

“When I landed at the airport, I picked some of our customers up, took them with me to Lifestyle, and started meeting with customers one-on-one to answer their questions and address their concerns. We got everyone upgraded to VIP status and hosted an exclusive party for them on Sunday night. The party was a great way for people to relax and get back to the real reason they came to the Dominican Republic – to have fun! Everyone had bonded over this unexpected situation, and someone even came up with a nickname for the group: the ‘Sun Village People’.”

“I was absolutely impressed, that not only did CheapCaribbean.com handle the situation from the beginning and have a place for us to go, but that Jim himself was down there so quickly, moving us and giving us the upgrade because he wanted everybody to be happy,” said Tracey. “I thought that spoke volumes about the company, because who does that? To jump on a plane and be down there practically instantly to handle things, I think is fantastic.”

With the immediate crisis under control, customer service agents back at CheapCaribbean.com’s home office turned their focus on the task of notifying customers who had booked at Sun Village in the coming months, and recommending alternative options. The process continues today, as the agents take the time to address each individual customer’s issues and concerns.

For Tracey and Paul, and others who were caught off guard in the middle of their vacations, the company’s handling of this situation made a lasting impression.

“Who knows, I may have used CheapCaribbean.com again anyway, because I don’t have a lot of prior experiences to compare,” said Tracey. “But now, because this happened, and because of the way it was handled, and Jim coming down there, I can tell you honestly that I wouldn’t even consider booking a Caribbean vacation package anywhere else.”

As for his impression, Paul says: “I’m an investment banker, so I’m constantly advising people on how to act in times of crisis. Over the years I’ve learned that both people and businesses are not made through times of calm. They are made and measured by their reaction to times of difficulty.

“CheapCaribbean.com, through its actions during this difficult time, and especially its people, in the back office and on the ground, made lifelong customers of us. In fact, it’s only been a month, and my wife is already bugging me to plan another trip.”

Travel Guide Service Launches Free Online Search Directory for Travel Discounts

Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) April 3, 2007

Travel World Discounts, LLC, the full service travel guide, has just launched a comprehensive free online travel discount search directory at TravelBestTips.com. The directory shows users how and where to find the maximum travel discounts.

“Have you ever seen a discounted airfare advertised that you couldn’t find at the airline’s website?” asks Gary Haagen of TravelBestTips.com. “Now you have the tools at http://www.TravelBestTips.com to find the lowest advertised, and often unadvertised, airfares, hotel rooms, cruises and car rentals. Users can explore the website, download the eBook, tell-a-friend and sign-up for the TravelBestTips e-newsletter, all for free.”

Educating the public on how to find travel discounts is the mission of TravelBestTips.com. Once users have found the airfare at the right price, the next challenge is to find lodging at an affordable price. Pricing at quality hotels such as Hilton’s, Sheraton’s, Westin’s and others can vary widely, and discounts are hard to find. But with the right search strategy, consumers can turn that advertised $ 300 per night hotel room into a three-night stay for the same money.

Taking a cruise also requires strategy to save money. It is possible to cruise on name brand ships such as those offered through Carnival, Norwegian or Royal Caribbean cruise lines for as little as $ 70 a night, per person.

Discounted car rentals at Hertz, Avis, Budget and others are also available. “How about a full size car for $ 15.00 per day?” says Gary Haagen. “Inexpensive car rental rates are out there if you use the right search strategy.

Travel World Discounts, LLC specializes in educating their visitors and subscribers on how to save money, while traveling in style.

About Travel World Discounts, LLC

Gary Haagen started Travel World Discounts, LLC after many years of researching internet travel discounts for his family and himself. His findings have resulted in the creation of a comprehensive, free travel discount directory at http://www.travelbesttips.com.

Cruise Critic Member Sails on Liberty of the Seas Pre-Inaugural Voyage – Winner Selected by Peers in Online Poetry Contest

PENNINGTON, NJ (PRWEB) April 25, 2007

Cruise Critic members have chosen a winner in the Liberty of the Seas Poetry Contest, an online competition commemorating the launch of the newest addition to Royal Caribbean’s fleet. Cruise Critic is pleased to announce that member “BecciBoo” from San Antonio is the winner and has the distinguished honor to present her poem to an officer aboard the ship.

The contest, which began on April 2, 2007, celebrates the long-awaited arrival of Liberty of the Seas, which will share the title of world’s largest cruise ship with sister Freedom of the Seas. For two weeks, members were encouraged to write and submit original poems about Liberty of the Seas. Five finalists, chosen by Cruise Critic’s editorial staff, were then voted on by the Cruise Critic community; there were nearly 900 votes in all. Check out the Liberty of the Seas Poetry Contest results.

The poetry contest concept was born in 2006 when the Pink Boa Society, a group of Cruise Critic members planning to sail on the not-yet-launched Freedom of the Seas, wrote a tribute to the vessel; that poem is mounted onboard. The winner of the Liberty of the Seas Poetry Contest will present her poem to a ship’s officer and be one of the lucky few invited by Royal Caribbean to cruise on the ship during its series of pre-inaugural voyages.

The contest is just a part of Cruise Critic’s coverage of the new Liberty of the Seas, one of the most exciting ships to debut this year. Read news and watch videos on Cruise Critic’s The Next “Big” Thing: Countdown to Liberty of the Seas. And stay tuned for Cruise Critic’s exclusive “sneak preview” by our European correspondent, offering highlights of the ship before it arrives in the United States.
