CruiseWorld / Home Based Agent Show

It's me again.

Who's going to the Travel Weekly CruiseWorld / Home Based Agent Show in Fort Lauderdale?

I'm going to have a pretty big booth there on the trade show floor, and VTC is sponsoring some pretty key speaking engagements... mostly centered around streamlining your business, making your website work for you, protecting your business... really good stuff from very well known industry leaders like Peter E. Pincus of Marriott and Tom Ogg of HBTACommunity.com!

Stay tuned for more details!

Oh, and we're having a special for all VTCs who want to go - if you enter VTC1 during registration, you save 25%.

Hope I see you there!

How was business in Q1?

We posed the question in March's VTC enewsletter: How was business in the first three months of 2010?

Also, what made business boom or bust for you in the past couple of months? The goal of this post is to get a different reading on how business is going for VTCs, rather than polls that may not reflect as accurately the markets VTCs are targeting, and the various factors that contribute to a VTC's success. Sometimes word-of-mouth reporting is a lot easier to draw solutions from than statistics.
