Les-Lee Roland, a journalist, travel agent and recipient of the 2008 Travel Agent of the Year award by readers of Travel Trade, commended New York City Vacation Packages in a recent article in Travel Trade's April 27 edition. Les-Lee writes
"A FLIP for NYCVP (New York City Vacation Packages) for its well-conceived marketing. They recently sent out an email that took the basic cost of their packages and compared it to the cost of a trip if your clients tried to do it themselves. Surprise, surprise: guess where the best value is? If you haven't seen this math exercise, contact NYCVP (www.nyctrip.com) and ask them to resend it. if you have clients who tell you that they will stand in line for hours to try to get half-off tickets at a Broadway show, tell them, unless they want to see the naked cowboy carrying a big guitar, it's a waste of their short amount of time in NYC. There is so much to see and do in the Big Apple, so why spend all that time waiting in lines? "
Thank you Les-Lee. We certainly appreciate the plug - and the great advice about half-off tickets too!
