Where You Going Next??

Where Are You Going Next?

If you are a travel agent, after the customary hello, nice to see you, etc. exchange, this is a very common greeting, “where you going next?”.  Of course, most of us in this business don’t mind it at all, because this gives us the opportunity to visit with folks about our next trips.  So, if you asked me this morning that question, here’s what I would tell you. . .and by the way, invite you, to go with us. 

We have been in the business for 37 years and doing pleasure travel groups, mostly cruises, now for about 20 years, and we have given those who travel with our group the title of “The Travel Factory Gang”.  Many members of the Gang have gone with us multiple times to various destinations, and of course, we think it is because we treat them as valued guests and friends.  After all, that is what they are!!  Plus, we try to let them know all that we know about the upcoming trip; we encourage anticipation and discovery.

So. . .where are we going next?  Well, for the past 8 years, we have worked and hosted a radio promotion group from KEAN out of Galveston to somewhere in the Western or Eastern Caribbean.  Our next trip is with that great group on Sept. 8 on one of Carnival’s newest Funships, the Carnival Magic.  We’ll be on our way to Key West, Freeport and Nassau, Bahamas. Cruising is so much fun. . . and relaxing!! 

Then, we have a unique opportunity with 48 Gang members to cruise the Rhine River in Nov., from Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland with a return from Zurich after a couple more days in Switzerland.  Really looking forward to that experience; sold the river cruise experience many times with always positive feedback.  We have another one scheduled for next year on the Elegant Elbe from Prague to Berlin.  We encourage all of you reading this to get a reservation with us right now; it sells out really fast because there are very few rooms.

Have you ever had the opportunity to go on a brand new ship, on their inaugural year in the United States?  Well, you can go with us on the Royal Princess, christened by the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton back in June before she delivered George in July.  We have a group booked on the Feb. 23 sailing out of Ft. Lauderdale to their private island, Princess Cay, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas.  Princess is already requesting my unsold space by next Tuesday, so if you want this fantastic cruise experience, give us a call immediately.  With the group prices booked back in Aug. ’12, it is a bargain now!!! 

How about considering going with us with our 20th group to Alaska?  Next July 7-19 are the dates; we already have several bookings on that one now, so the smart travelers take the hint; book early!!

This is not all, but all I have time for.  Call The Travel Factory at 698-1421 or toll-free 800-760-4040.  Find us in south Abilene between Rosas and Chick Fil A.
