One of the most important aspect of business management is a little something known as "Brand Recognition". Face it, without Brand Recognition, a business becomes just another face in the crowd and that is anything but good.
In an effort to establish our identity in the world of home base travel agencies, IrSabio Travel Consultants introduced our new logo. We feel that this logo represents our total commitment to our clients. The red belt around the Earth represents our motto of being Your Full Service Online Travel Agency. Whether you are in the mod for a Cruise, an All-Inclusive Vacation, International Adventure, or something other, it is our goal to ensure that all of your travel desires are achieved.
We are IrSabio Travel Consultants, and we are Your Full Service Online Travel Agency.

Local Travel Agent Becomes Cruise Expert by Earning Prestigious Top Rank in Princess Cruises Academy
JACKSONVILLE, FL October 27, 2009 – A First Coast travel agent has achieved prestigious Commodore status in Princess Cruises’ Academy training program, certifying him as an expert cruise professional. As a Commodore, Edgar M. Wise of IrSabio Travel Consultants joins an exclusive group of travel agents who are now recognized by Princess at the Academy's highest level for their unique qualifications and knowledge as a cruise planning professional. Edgar Wise earned this distinction after completing the minimum 25 courses necessary to graduate from the program.
“We at Princess are very proud of Edgar’s dedication, as he put in extra effort to offer clients exceptional knowledge regarding our cruise vacation product as well as our worldwide destinations,” said Jan Swartz, Senior Vice President of Customer Service and Sales at Princess. “Travel agents who reach this top level in our Academy program have completed hours of course work to become a cruising expert, which will prove invaluable to providing clients with a great vacation.”
Princess Academy is the cruise industry’s most comprehensive online training program available to travel agents in the U.S. and Canada. Agents who complete the extensive coursework become experts on a wide range of topics, offering travelers full knowledge of important details about a Princess vacation such as the different passenger amenities on the line’s 17 ships, the company’s worldwide destinations and the many special programs available onboard.
“I'm thrilled to be a Princess Commodore and expand my expertise about cruising. The knowledge I've gained makes me a more valuable resource for my clients, and enables me to recommend the very best vacation which matches all of their needs,” said Edgar Wise.
To become a Commodore, travel agents must fulfill 25 required and elective classes, representing approximately 15 hours of total course work covering worldwide destinations, onboard programs, and customer service skills. As they complete courses, agents receive their “stripes” through four levels: First Officer, Staff Captain, Captain and finally Commodore. Agents can continue to take elective courses to expand their knowledge and keep their Commodore status current.

A Serious Matter Unrelated To Travel
Hello friends and followers. In our wonderful nation of America, we are plagued with a virus that threatens to undermine our very existence. This virus is that of child predators and molesters. It is time something was done about it.
Within the past 10 days preceding the writing of this blog entry, the city of Orange Park Fl, and indeed the entire Florida First Coast was rocked by the revelation that 7 year old Somer Thompson was kidnapped, murdered, and tossed into a dumpster as if she was nothing more than yesterday's garbage. Her body was discovered in a landfill in South East Georgia, and was so badly assaulted and other wise disfigured that the medical examiner will not allow her mother to see the body. Somer is but one of many children who have met similar fates. Children like Christopher Barrios, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by his neighbors, and left on the side of the rode in a black garbage bag. The list can go on, and on, and on, but I think you get the picture.
The problem is, for a nation who has armed forces committed to places overseas fighting the war against terrorism, we can not seem to prevent our very own children from being terrorized by sexual predators. I don't know about you, but I for one am sick and tired of innocent children becoming victims of sexual deviants who get a kid out of hurting kids.
Recently, a group of concerned mothers banded together to form Mothers Againt Predators, a grass roots organization dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers that threaten our children, with a drive to end the attacks of sexual predators. Although this efforts began in Florida, we are hoping that - like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers - this effort will take root across the country. I applaud the ladies who are taking this stand against sexual predators and child molesters.
IrSabio Travel Consultants has reached out to the founders of Mothers Against Predators to offer any assistance we may. Be it in the form of providing methods to assist with fund raising, through financial contributions, or other means. IrSabio Travel Consultants is fully committed to the success of Mothers Against Predators. We encourage you to assist this organization as well. One way that you can assist is simply by you doing what you are doing presently, booking your travel through IrSabio Travel Consultants at http://www.irsabio.com. Beginning November 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010, IrSabio Travel Consultants will donate 25% of all earned commissions to Mothers Against Predators. These donations will be in addition to any other forms of support IrSabio Travel Consultants provides.
So feel good about booking your travel with IrSabio Travel Consultants, and know that the hotel, flight, cruise, or other vacation you book and take between November 1, 2009 and February 28, 2010 is helping to fund efforts that ensure our children are safe from the dangers of Sexual Predators. Remember the children are our future. Let's keep them well so they can grow up and lead the way.
