In this day of highly discounted travel caused by travel agencies panicking in our current economy and trying to save their businesses, it’s good to know that I am affiliated with one of the strongest travel companies in the industry. Once again America’s Vacation Center, one of the leading travel companies in North America and beyond, was named as “Agency of the Year” for 2008 by a major travel partner. That is an outstanding recommendation from Brendan, one of the best tour operators to one of America’s strongest travel providers. What’s even more remarkable is the fact that five cruise lines have named America’s Vacation Center their Agency of the Year recently as well. Below is the press release from America’s Vacation Center.
