about
Our
travel
agency
was
born
25
years
ago
to
satisfy
a
need
to
travel
along
with
the
desire
to
assist
others
to experience the joy of visiting fun places
Many years ago, we began providing educational classes for clients of ours in a business unrelated to the travel industry. We did lots of cruise based classes and seminars for many years. We provided land based classes then we could explore exciting places and get the education done all at the same time. This approach also allows some tax benefits when combining the two activities together. In the beginning, we used a couple of travel agencies, one with a physical location and later, an agency that we found online. In both cases, we realized we were doing all of the work and planning while the travel agency made all of the money from our hard work. Also, it was difficult to get the kind of service we desired. We want to customize the travel arrangements to be the best experience for our clients without it appearing like a formal guided tour. Then we investigated what it would take to begin a travel agency of our own. We ended up jumping through all of the hoops and paying all of the costs involved to create an entity which can offer all types travel choices. This is when the Travel Resource Center began operations.
Having
our
own
IATA
number
(bona-fide
travel
agency)
makes
it
possible
to
be
recognized
by
all
travel
suppliers.
It
also
gives
us
the
ability
to
be
an
active
participant
in
many
travel-based
organizations
to
enjoy
the
best
availability
and
pricing.
We
are
not
big,
but
we play with the big boys.
Although
we
do
not
focus
our
attention
on
travel
for
individuals,
we
make
ourselves
available
to
assist
those
who were part of a group arrangement previously.
After
more
than
two
decades
of
experience,
we
know
how
to
make
your
travel
as
fun
as
it
would
be
if
it
were
us going.
