Monograms has created “starter guides” that provide helpful insight and tips for first-time travelers to Europe, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy and South America.
Littleton, CO (PRWEB) January 26, 2012
This year, Americans are planning to give back 226 million unused vacation days causing nearly 50 million of us to become vacation deprived. And, while some cite financial worries as the main contributing factor for their “no vacation” philosophies, many Americans blame “lack of planning” as the reason they find it hard to get away.* Regardless of the excuse, Monograms – the all-in-one packaged vacation travel company and member of the award-winning Globus family of brands – is helping travelers make going now not only possible, but also easy.
“This year, as we create New Year’s resolutions, it’s time to promise ourselves the dreaming will stop and the doing will begin,” said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. “Monograms is prepared to help. We have experts on hand to take care of planning, arranging and coordinating all-in-one vacation packages to every corner of the world. All want-to-be-travelers have to do is go.”
In 2012, Monograms has unveiled a world of choices to travelers with nearly 150 all-in-one vacation packages to Europe, Asia, Africa, the South Pacific, North and South America. “Travelers can spend a week in the city of their choice for an in-depth discovery or just four days for a relaxing mini-break,” said Born. “With Monograms, it’s also easy to combine multiple destinations like Paris and London or to explore North and South America. From the game reserves of Africa and the magical Australian Outback to the extravagant monuments of India, the world is waiting to be discovered and explored.”
In addition to handling such vacation details as booking hotels and transportation between destinations, Monograms also provides travelers an on-site Local Host to act as a personal concierge arranging sightseeing and excursions in cities worldwide.
To showcase the importance and ease of not only planning – but actually going on vacation – Monograms has unveiled a new marketing video.

Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, is continuing to shrink in size as part of an ongoing reform programme. That also means that fewer and fewer barracks are needed. Often the vast grounds with huge halls are impossible to sell. But in Hohenkirchen in northern Germany, an ingenious entrepreneur is setting up a huge recreational park on the site of the former barracks.
With the introduction of its own loyalty program, PATraveller, Pan Australian Travel has set a new industry standard. With membership perks that are described as “groundbreaking”, the company has created a model that reflects its focus on both independent and corporate travel management.
(PRWEB) January 25, 2012
Innovative travel agent, Pan Australian Travel, has just announced the launch of its own frequent flyer program, PATraveller. The membership program sets the highly-regarded company apart in the competitive travel agency business, rewarding its clients with an impressive list of loyalty benefits.
The company designed their loyalty program based on over 50 years of experience with the traveling public.
“In creating PATraveller, we have identified the types of rewards from which the traveling public will truly benefit,” said Pan Australian Travel Director, Jake Hower. “We are not offering kitchen appliances or supermarket vouchers – that’s not what we’re about.”
Instead, Pan Australian Travel has negotiated specially reduced prices for, for instance, Priority Pass worldwide airport lounge membership. Depending on the level of membership, complimentary cabin luggage and airport transfers are offered.
Membership to PATraveller is free and is available to individuals or to the company’s many corporate travel management clients. The Membership level is based on the member’s annual travel spend with Pan Australian Travel, and is divided into Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels.
All members will receive special offers that are negotiated with airlines, hotels, tour companies and cruise lines.
“As a long-established travel agent, we have always strived to provide our clients with the best possible service” said Mr Hower. “Now we are pleased to offer them more tangible benefits, to thank them for their loyalty to us.”
Special PATraveller Launch Offer
In announcing the launch of PATraveller frequent flyer membership, the company is offering a limited-time offer for members.
“Any members making any booking whatsoever by March 31, 2012 will be upgraded to the next higher tier of membership” explained Mr Hower. “This offer is open to individuals departing Australia, leisure travelers or our corporate clients organizing a conference.”
Believed to be the only independent loyalty program tailor-made by a travel agent, PATraveller is poised to set a new benchmark in a very competitive industry.
More details about the PATraveller frequent flyer membership can be found at www.panaustravel.com.au/patraveller-frequent-flyer/ ;
