Travel with Jim West

After taking a good hard look at the Illinois Valley area, I realized as more and more visitors come to see all the great things we have to offer, there needed to be a “proper” tour company offering bus tours to local sightseeing places. So beginning this year, Travel West is launching ILLINOIS VALLEY TOURS, and promoting tourism in the area.

We are currently designing up to 80 different tours, from cooking to cruises on the canal and everything in between.

We are working with many hotels in the area, along with restaurants, stores, factories, and other major sightseeing destinations.  Stay tuned, we will be lanching  in the very near future.

Work out of your home, set your own hours, travel for free, how does all that sound?  Well it is very possible you can create this for yourself as a referral agent at Travel West.

Right now, we are inviting anyone who are interested in becoming a referral agent with our company, to register with our office and start the ball rolling.

You don’t need a travel education or background, and I can tell you, whatever you put into this, is what you will get out of it.

In today’s economy, it is very easy to earn an extra $500 a week minimum for just referring people to our travel company.  We have some agents who make over $50,000 a year doing this full time, and that’s no joke!  

Give me a call in our office, 815-663-7000 and I will tell you more, or you can email me direct at Jim@TravelWest.com and I’ll send you the details.

Hope you can join our team.

Really, how can you afford to stay home with a price like this?!  We have a 7-day cruise in January 2010, and it is sailing on a brand new ship with Carnival Cruise Lines.

This price includes all port charges, taxes, meals and fuel costs.  Really, how incredible is this price?

We have 20 cabins being held and this is the first time I am mentioning this to you.  We will not be advertising it in the local paper or in any magazines, this is my blog cruise special.  Once the cabins are sold, that’s it!

You only have to pay $100 per person deposit and then you can make $100 payments each month to pay it off.  Regardless of the economy, how can you pass this up?

So call our office and ask for Bridget.  Or you can email her direct at Bridget@TravelAllianceInc.com

Tell your friends and family.  It’s an incredible rate that won’t last.

That’s right, we have three positions to fill in our office as we continue expanding our company.  Here they are:

FULL TIME MARKETING PERSON-This person would be in charge of our marketing and advertising for the entire organization.  Starting pay is $15.00 per hour plus perks, and this person must have a very good history of successful marketing and advertising on his/her resume.  References, resume required.

I need these positions filled immediately.  No personal deliveries please.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT- Early next year, Travel Alliance, Inc. will be launching our first quarterly magazine called DIRECTIONS.  As many of you know, we currently have 14 travel companies under one umbrella called “Travel Alliance, Inc.” and next year we are doubling that to 28 companies.

Each of these companies is a niche travel market, from quilters to farmers and catholics to protestants.  In our magazine, all of you who are on our mailing list will receive a copy of this via email or if you’d prefer a hard copy through snail mail.

We will be offering all kinds of trips in this magazine (similar to a travel brochure), giving you some great travel tips, offering discounts on travel-everything from cruises to all inclusive packages, and also showing you how you can actually become an associate travel partner with our organization.

We are also launching our new frequent traveler’s program that offers all kinds of bonuses for traveling with us time and time again.  Watch for this announcement in the next week.

Stay tuned, there are lots of very excitint  things happening at Travel West and Travel Alliance, Inc., you don’t want to miss them!

On January 1st, we will be opening our office in Edmonton, and I am very pleased to announce the general manager will be Veronica Norris.  Veronica has traveled on many of our trips in the past, and we have built a very solid friendship and relationship during this time.

Veronica has a background in marketing and advertising, besides being an avid crafter and all around great person.  Her enthusiasm and work ethic lend themselves to being the perfect representative for Travel Alliance, Inc. in Canada.

You will soon see a special link on our homepage for Canadian’s to use, that will include our Canadian office address and toll free number.

Welcome Veronica and all our Canadian travelers.  It’s going to be a great New Year!

This past year, I have had many of the people ask why we changed the name of our corporation from Cruise Concepts, Inc. to Travel Alliance, Inc. 

Well it’s very simple really, we have expanded our travel planning to include many land tours, besides the cruises we plan.  Also, our corporation represents an alliance of niche travel companies we operate.  As you can see on our homepage, we have very successful companies for scrapbookers, quilters, catholics, protestants, tuscany cooking tours, hair dressers, and the list goes on.  This is also where Travel West is found, as a separate travel organization.

As time goes on, you will eventually see up to 30 companies all umbrella’d under Travel Alliance, Inc. If you have a moment, take a look at our other companies and the trips that are being offered.  If any of the trips interest you, you can participate on any of them.  This offers you at least 50 tours to choose from, from cruises to land tours. For more information, call our office and ask for Matt or Steve.

Have a great weekend!
