CNN reports on the true value of travel agents.

Joan's Travel Partners celebrated it's 25th anniversary in business last year. As we start our second 25 years of service, we remain dedicated to saving our corporate clients both money and time. In 2011 alone we saved our one business $10,000 in their travel costs, and another was saved $7,000.

This money savings is combined with 24 hour seven day a week service to protect business travels from the problems that befall them on the road, like delayed and cancelled flights, bad weather and changes in their business schedules which necessitate changes in their itineraries.

Professional and reliable service combined with cost savings are just the beginning of the services we can provide your business. Contact us today to learn what else we can do to help you stay ahead in this competitive and changing business environment.

The Packing App

I just found a great new App for your iPhone or iPad . It is called Packing Pro and generates a packing list based on the criteria you enter, such as destination, temperature and length of trip. It is only $2.99! It is the perfect tool for the on-the-go consultant who doesn't have the time to study the weather conditions in each city they have to be in!

I suggested it to two consultants who have to dash off  to New Zealand next week and they loved it. "Joan, your Packing Pro suggestion, saved me! I would never have known what to bring for the summer down there. It will find a permanent place on my phone. Best, JG"
