Summary: There is no other travel book like this one!
Review: This book has everything you ever wanted to know about travel planning and hospitality - from A to Z. This book is so comprehensive, easy to read, and detailed that you can teach yourself about the "ins-and-outs" of travel planning - either as a professional travel agent, a free-lancer, or just to plan your own trips. What makes this book so special? It is visual and exciting. The author really got creative here! She uses great quotes for each chapter that stokes your interest! Each chapter has a "Fast Forward" section that lists all of the major concepts with page reference numbers; it allows you to skip around or to focus on just those subjects that interest you. There are so many graphics and visuals - tables, charts, demos, and beautiful color photos of some very interesting places on earth! Each chapter is scattered liberally with helpful exercises that serve as great reviews of major subjects and concepts covered. This book also helps the reader to prepare for the T.A.P. (Travel Agent Proficiency) credential - very important designation for new travel professionals. The book even has a "mock" T.A.P. test that closely mirrors the types of questoins on the actual exam. The book also has a very comprehensive glossary (I can't think of a word or term she left out! ) along with a handy index. I recommend this book for anyone - students of travel and those who are just interested in learning more about travel planning and hospitality to become their own travel agent. Highly recommend!
