Vacation TBC

Standard Travel Industry practice is to book big blocks of rooms, cruises, resorts, and air travel during the peak travel times throughout the year. This practice makes it virtually impossible for the little guy to get a great deal booking a vacation. Travel Industry exerts leverage in this way to maximize inventory and profits. The individual is hard pressed to find any deals even in areas with excess inventory since availability is controlled by this standard industry operating procedure. Since most people can’t travel whenever they want this Travel Industry’s model is very effective and continues to work well for the industry bottom line.

Now if you have the ability to travel at the drop of a hat you can get a better deal but you are still in the grasp of the travel industry’s business model, the Travel Discounters, you know the names. When a drop dead expiration date approaches for the larger travel sellers then this same excess inventory is released into the next part of the food chain which are your Discount Travel Brokers. These brokers pass on some savings to the consumer; yet still control large travel blocks insuring profit and control for their business model. This cycle is repeated week after week and there is always inventory that is perishing. This perishing inventory is sizable and creates a great opportunity, but this opportunity is not open to John Q Public. Well at least that was the case till now.

Primo Vacations Club is a brand new travel and vacation club with a very unique business opportunity attached to it. It is situated to become a leading player in the travel industry which by the way is a 7 Trillion dollar industry. Primo Vacations Club was founded by Rob Hanley and Dave Garven who are also the co-founders of the hugely successful Your Net Biz business opportunity. The aim for Primo Vacations is to provide more unmatched and unbeatable value and service, than any other travel and vacations club, while giving savings of up to 80% on luxury condos, cruises, villas, resorts, and hotels at the most desirable destinations around the world.
Primo Vacations Club was designed to be of great value and opportunity.

There are many travel business opportunities out there that range in price from $2,995 upwards to $9,995. Some of these businesses are Global Resorts Network, MOR Vacations, Resorts 360, and Cruise To Cash; they really are not in the travel business but rather in the opportunity business. What I mean by that is that none of these opportunities allow you to sell a travel membership to the consumer directly like Primo Vacations Club does. Here are the costs associated with these business opportunities: Global Resorts Network $3,500.00 plus $149 monthly, Resorts 360 $3,995.00 or $399 and $249 monthly lifetime, MOR Vacations $1,998.00 plus $149 annual, and Cruise To Cash $977.

None of the above mentioned businesses are set up to sell travel but rather sell opportunity with a travel product. Therefore none of the above mentioned business models actually allow you to carve out a niche in the 7 trillion dollar travel business. Furthermore, internet data shows that there are about 23 million people globally looking to start a home based online business. Data collected from surveys reveals that those people say they are only willing to spend $1,000 to start business. That means that if you chose an opportunity like; Global Resorts Network, MOR Vacations, and Resorts 360, you would have lost 99% of the global opportunity seekers market. Why market to 1% of the global business opportunity seekers and shut yourself out completely from the 7 trillion dollar travel industry?

Here are the facts to support this statement: With the Primo advantage you get a sensational lifetime travel club membership with personal travel concierge at unheard of travel savings of 40-80% and there are never any dues. Plus you get to save on, condos, hotels, all-inclusive resorts, villas, cruises, and air fare. The second advantage, should you choose to pursue the Primo business opportunity, is a fully integrated marketing system complete with website integration and a back office to track all aspects of your business. The marketing system provides you with Professional Business Assistants at no additional cost to do the telling, explaining, and selling to your prospective customers. The back office also includes interactive coaching and training along with live coaching calls to help you learn at your own pace and achieve your goals. The system is can-am spam act compliant with a fully integrated automatic responder to follow up with your prospects with engaging emails. Your prospective customer base is comprised of business opportunity seekers along with consumers searching for inexpensive quality travel. These are just some of the features and benefits that come standard with the Primo Vacations Club opportunity. Compared to the other travel business out there it is an amazing value and bargain at $697.

To recap you can become a Primo Vacations Club lifetime member for a onetime payment of $697 and never pay any dues and enjoy travel savings of 40-80% off forever. If you choose to pursue the business opportunity, you become a club member for a onetime payment of $697 and pay $49 a monthly to maintain your Primo Vacations back office. If you decide not to market the business you can stop anytime but you will always enjoy the travel savings as a lifetime member with no additional costs. Many club members say that they joined for the savings and recouped the cost of their membership with the first vacation they booked and were delighted at how simple it was to make money with the marketing system. If you want to know more about this opportunity you will find a helpful link that will take you to the company tour in my resource box titled Go Primo Vacations.

The official Caribbean hurricane season stretches from June 1 – November 30. It’s rare to see a large storm in either June or November and most major hurricanes occur between August and October, with the peak season usually being September.

The upside is that prices are lower for the Caribbean during this time and resorts are less crowded. So what do you do if you want to get away during hurricane season?

Buy Travel Insurance
You must buy the trip cancellation insurance before the storm is announced, otherwise it will be deemed a pre-existing condition, so always purchase insurance the same day you book your trip to be safe. Most travel insurance policies will cover a trip disrupted because of a hurricane when you are forced to arrive late or leave early for your trip, but you’ll be reimbursed only for the affected days until the airport or resort reopens. You will usually be reimbursed for the days you are forced to stay at a resort during a hurricane, but be sure to always read the fine print on your policy to make sure you know what they will actually cover.

Try to Avoid the Storms
Track hurricanes online with weather websites during the season. Some good sites include:

The National Weather Service – National Hurricane Center
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Hurricane & Storm Tracking for the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans
http://hurricane.terrapin.com

Hurricane News and Information

Weather.com Tropical Storm Center

Pick Your Location Well
When planning a trip to the Caribbean during hurricane season, it is good to know that hurricanes are less likely the further south you go. The islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and St. Vincent, including the islands below them, are the least hit by hurricanes. However, as Grenada discovered in 2004 with Hurricane Ivan, never say never and keep in mind that hurricanes are unpredictable.

Go on a Cruise
The good thing about cruises is that they can usually sail around the worst of a storm. And today’s ships are extraordinarily safe and with the advanced weather tracking available today, bad weather is something they can avoid. The downside is that the cruise line always reserves the right to reschedule port calls and change itineraries for weather-related reasons and therefore you may not get to visit the places you had hoped to.

Pick a Resort That Offers a Hurricane Guarantee
Recently, many of the largest resorts and resort chains, have started instituting a hurricane guarantee, offering guests their money back for days lost to bad weather. For example, in the unlikely event that hurricane force winds (as defined by the U.S. National Weather Service) directly hit the Sandals or Beaches resorts while you are a guest, interrupting the use of all the included activities, Sandals or Beaches Resorts will offer a free replacement vacation to be taken at any Sandals or Beaches Resort of your choice. Go to http://www.best-family-beach-vacations.com/caribbean-hurricane-season.html for more resorts that offer hurricane guarantees.

Make the Best of It.
If you do get caught on vacation during a hurricane, try to make the best of it. As long as there is no danger present, relax indoors and focus on other activities.

My husband and I got caught in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico during hurricane Keith in 2000. He was still my boyfriend at that time and unbeknownst to me, he planned to propose on our second evening there. We got dressed for dinner and arrived at the hotel restaurant to find it boarded up. We saw the line up in the hotel lobby, everyone was being evacuated from the hotel to one farther up the coast. We ran back to our room, packed and got on the next bus out – not the evening my husband had planned!

When we checked into our room at the new hotel a few hours later, he still had the engagement ring burning a hole in his pocket. The winds were blowing and it was raining so the romantic walk on the beach he had been hoping for was out. He couldnt put it off any longer so he dropped to one knee and proposed then and there. It was definitely a memorable evening, hurricane and all!

Exotic location like Srilanka is a complete fun for planning your vacation, but not unless you feel at home. At least I did not grapple with such issues under the umbrella of Country Vacation Srilanka. With an absolute desire to enjoy this lovely island, I asked Country Vacation to plan a random vacation for me, just like a blind date. I swear this turned out to be a great idea indeed and Country Vacation Srilanka didnt disappoint.

My Country Vacation membership was equally valid for Country Vacation Srilanka package as well and I was able to enjoy all Country Vacation membership privileges, even in Srilanka. It started not with beaches but Sinharaja forest, which is considered to be one of the affluent reserves in terms of flora and fauna. I was amazed to observe this large variety of species here, and it was then that I realized why people called it a virgin forest. Country Vacation Srilanka motive was now clearly visible for me. Country vacation had planned to show me an island which Marco Polo considered finest on earth.

This was just the beginning, as the next spot decided for me by Country vacation was again a virgin beach, at Arugam Bay. This was the first truly unspoilt beach I discovered thanks to Country Vacation. I feel the unique feature of Country Vacation is that they are smartest of all to keep track of all unexplored and undiscovered destinations around the world. Another good thing about Country Vacation is their approach which suggests acute understanding and exhaustive study of a region before they actually include it in their Country Vacation membership package.
Thinking what does Country Vacation has next in line for me. Ah! It was Ceylon tea garden where I arrived in a luxurious cab arranged by Country Vacation Srilanka, which made me feel like Indias royal and affluent tea garden owners. I was surprised to notice such a geographical diversity in a small Island, well tracked by Country Vacation and surely mother Nature has done justice to this place. Not to forget my pleasantly surprising Country Vacation Srilanka friends who still had enough enthusiasm just like me for the next and final destination. I was informed earlier by my Country Vacation staff that we were now to head for Colombo. Still, I felt that something more special from Country Vacation is yet to come because I found that this trip was not traditional in its course but a little randomly constructed by Country Vacation, yet comfortable. Country Vacation proved me right, and to make my journey complete in all regards, taking into account the suggestion of Country Vacation Srilanka, I decided to pay a visit to Galle. Famous for its cricket ground and beach, Galle provides an opportunity to look into traditional life of the Island. What else can I say about this fantastic trip? Sitting in the hotel lobby at Colombo I thank Country Vacation Srilanka, and Country Vacation and also Country Vacation staff for their kind support..
