A lot of people complain about how long lines are to some of these, not knowing that if they spend a little extra money, they can get a city pass, where they can not only travel around Rome using public transportation, getting from one place to another much quicker and easier, but these passes also allow one to get into some of these attractions for free.

There are also a number of tours, where you can group a number of attractions together for one low price. Usually these tours get in passed these long lines. One of these is the tour of Vatican City. Vatican City, while part of Rome, is it’s own separate city as well. These are tours where you can see many of the Vatican’s tops attractions, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, as well as the Vatican Museums. You can even go into these museums in the evening, when the general public is not permitted.

Another top attraction when visiting Rome has got to be the Roman Colosseum. You can first see a spectacular view from the top of Colle Oppio, where you can not only see the Colosseum, but other ancient historical sites, the Pantheon, and even the Forum. Here too, there are many different walking tours, which can get you into these attractions and avoiding the long lines.

The Capitoline Museum is another must see, standing at the top of Capitoline Hill. This is an excellent museum, with the Piazza del Campidoglio, with one of the many highlights being the large bronze stature of the famous Marcus Aurelius riding his horse. Many of the structures and architecture of this museum were done by Michelangelo.

It does not matter the size of the conference or where it is, travel agents can be a major help in their planning. Travel agents can be especially helpful if it is an international conference. Travel agents can have knowledge of the area as well as such things as transportation, accommodations, and hospitality issues. One of the main hassles when planning a conference is taking care of the needs of the people attending.

It doesn’t matter if it is a press release, convention, training seminar, or product launch, travel agents can take care of many of the needs of the attendees so that the people attending or the people running the conferences do not have to worry about those details. The larger the conference the more travel agents can be of service.

One of the main ways that travel agents can help with conferences is with transportation and travel needs. Many times if the conference is international the people attending the conference will need a way to get there. Travel agents can help with flight, train or bus information as well as procuring tickets. The larger the group traveling to a conference the more travel agents can be used and many times they can also get better deals. Travel agents are in direct contact with airlines, train lines, and bus services so they can find out if there is space available as well as the best price for the ticket. They can also contact charter services, as it may be cheaper to travel this way for larger groups. Another advantage of using travel agents is that they can be available to coordinate travel times so that it can be easier, once the people arrive, that they do so around the same time making it easier to either get to accommodations or to the conference itself.

How do you get prospects to become clients? What extra can you add to your presentation to make the sale? Why not try an incentive? The three top incentives to get people to do anything is cash, products and travel. Cash incentives cost the most and believe it or not are the least effective. The reason being is that you pay dollar for dollar and what little cash you offer is used to pay bills and is quickly forgotten. Products work quite well, and it is true you can by them at a discount off retail but the problem is, most of your clients already have everything. It is almost impossible to guess what they want. Printed mugs, shirts, pens are very old fashioned. What is left to offer, a CD player?

Vacation and travel incentives are one of the most powerful methods of attracting business, retaining profitable clients, increasing profits, enhancing product awareness, and improving employee productivity. Businesses who have used vacation incentives in their marketing and promotions have seen at least 30% increase in their sales!

Why not recreation travel? First of all it is the cheapest. The most successful travel promotion in the country today (I will be mentioning it later in this article) cost 1.5% of its market value! More important recreation travel appeals to everyone. And travel is a long lasting gift. For example, think of all the preparation that goes into effect for a long vacation. Then think of all the pictures that you take during your vacation and remember for a lifetime. That’s right. Memories of a vacation can last forever! How is that for a great incentive! To show you how powerful recreational travel is just look at the most popular screen savers on everyone’s computer. You won’t find pictures of money. You won’t find pictures of products. What you will find is everyone’s dream vacation resort with palm trees in the background. Get the picture! The first words from most lottery winners are – “The first thing I am going to do is go on a long vacation”. I assume you get the point that recreation travel is one hell of an incentive.
