Hi to everyone
I am presenting a seminar at the 2010 World Travel Market (London on Thursday 11th November) related to issues about the accessible travel market for the disabled.
In order to make this a truely interactive seminar and not a sales pitch which seems to be derigueur for many seminars these days I would like to invite Travel Professionals to submit questions about issues related to selling accessible travel products to the disabled person, in particular to those clients who use wheelchairs and those who ask for specialised hotel accommodation.
Please send all questions to this dedicated email address wtm@disabledaccessibletravel.com
For non WTM related questions feel free to contact me at dat@disabledaccessibletravel.com or visit our website www.disabledaccessibletravel.com and follow the various links etc for information on accessible travel products and services.
Many thanks and see you at the WTM.

Many Local Tour operators especially those based in Tanzania are facing sales and marketing challenges.
How to market tourist destinations and how to sell travel packages.
How to understand clients/tourists interests and budget.
It is obvious that Travel Agents get direct contacts with tourists who wish to Travel to tanzania. And many tourists feel comfortable to book with travel Agents located in their country. How ever the Truth remains the same always, Local tour operators based in the tourist destination let say Tanzania, are the one one who do all ground operations to deliver quality services to tourists.
Those Travel Agents sub contract local tour operators.
So many local tour operators are struggling to be connected to the Travel agents so that can be sure of marketing and getting tourists. This is sustainable mutual business partnership and there is agreement on quality of services and how to share profit.
Smart Travel and Safaris Africa is looking for Travel Agents for partnership. Smart Travel and Safaris Africa is ready to provide all Travel packages for Travel agent to do marketing and sales.
