There are many resources available to the travel professional online, with numerous travel organizations that aid the travel industry. I'll point to one that I've been reading lately> http://www.tia.org/ --- the Travel Industry Association. They have an upcoming event in Charlotte, NC, which runs October 22 through 25th, called TIA's Marketing Outlook Forum 2007. Since I am a newcomer in the industry, I'm sure it would benefit me to go. That having been said, I would have needed to rearrange my schedule weeks ago in order to do so. But, that shouldn't stop YOU (if you're a travel agent or other travel marketing professional) from signing up and learning more. I will grant that you'd better want to spend your money to: 1) go there in the first place (although it's probably a tax-deductible trip); 2) go to the individual workshops - some may cost you $75 or more.
If you'd like information about this, here's a link: http://www.tia.org/industrymeet/mof/index.html

Blog items for non-travel-agents:
Does YOUR airport have a BIG ENOUGH RUNWAY for the latest super-sized jets?
The Airbus A380 handles around 525 passengers. The company says it's A380 is cleaner and greener and quieter with its new engines and cabin design. Want to see/hear their :60 second online presentation? Go here: http://www.a380delivery.com/ and view the little box.
What is next?
A train that goes the speed of sound? A bus tour to the women's prison facility [Women's Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center] in Vandalia, MO, USA?
I guess we'll see soon.
