| CHAPTER CHATS |
|
Across the board, travel agents are seeing only one direction for prices this year: up! Major airlines have slashed their schedules and raised fares (and fuel supplements, and baggage fees, and other charges!). Fewer cruise lines and tour operators have succeeded in holding the line on their 2008 and 2009 rates due to currency fluctuations, rising fuel prices, and other economic pressures. And, your clients have been hit hard with mortgage problems and higher gas prices and larger grocery bills . . . |
