Adelman Travel’s Vacations Division Launches Independent Contractors Program
MILWAUKEE – November 16, 2006 – Adelman Travel Group, the nation’s eighth largest travel firm, has unveiled its new Independent Contractors Program for the company’s leisure travel business. The company will officially introduce the new program to travel professionals this December at the Home-Based Travel Agent Expo in Las Vegas.
The contractors program offers a premier selection of packages from standard to elite, all of which include outstanding commissions, technology, competitive pricing and amenities at the best value. Among a comprehensive list of additional services, the elite package goes on to offer a commission bonus and the rare opportunity to inherit benefits of Adelman’s Virtuoso membership, which grants exclusive travel offers, training and stellar advertising programs. Adelman Vacations opened the program after considering the upward trend of home-based, independent travel agencies. According to the U.S. department of Labor Statistics, roughly six million businesses operate from home and they are growing by 1,500 each day. Among these home-based businesses are agencies, working in travel and tourism, one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.
“When you consider our company’s industry strength and rich history, we can offer the services and support that an independent travel professional aims for to grow their business. They would be hard-pressed to find these competitively priced offerings anywhere else,” said Margaret Braun, manager with Adelman Vacations.
