Leaders in the Tourism Industry, TA Fastrack Group has announced their nationwide ‘How to beat the Internet’ workshop for travel consultants, kicking off in Brisbane on July 28.

CEO, Adrian Caruso felt it was time to offer solutions for those travel consultants who feel they are being ‘beaten’ by the Internet with the increase in online bookings. Adrian will present this revolutionary workshop in major capital cities across the nation, throughout the months of July and August 2010. As one of the most effective business improvement specialists today, Adrian insists the workshops are for those in the industry who are serious about changing the way they consult and promote themselves as travel agents.

“After speaking with many consultants in the industry, I have been inundated with a sense of frustration when it comes to tackling the Internet and online sellers”, said Mr Caruso. While a lack of strategy seems to be the major downfall for agencies trying to rival online (cheap) prices. "The Internet is a long way behind being able to offer the same level of service as an agent when booking complicated itineraries, however it has offered a readily accessible platform for consumers to now pick and choose travel deals, whilst bypassing the intermediaries”, continued Mr Caruso.

The TA Fastrack workshop will prove that the Internet is as much an opportunity to independent agents as it is a threat.  Travel agents are being encouraged to not miss out on this opportunity to attend this workshop with 9 workshops now confirmed for Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

“ We are listening very closely to those in the industry and well aware of the day to day challengers they face, consultants want real-life solutions and that’s exactly what this ‘How to beat the Internet’ Workshop offers” said Mr. Caruso.
