Editorial Coverage for our Certified Tahiti Tiare Agents

Tahiti is in the spotlight and we would like to thank our Tiare Agents! A few of our Certified Tahiti Tiare Agents have been selected by the media to talk about their unparalleled specialties and services.

In the Travel + Leisure September 2006, readers will find a list of 125 'travel super-agents' selected by the magazine. The magazine quotes 'each agent is listed by area of specialization, with his or her dream holiday included to inspire a trip that may even change your (readers) life'. Manuia to our Certified Tahiti Tiare Agent Robin Turner with American Express listed under French Polynesia. Suzanne Hammer with Travel Store, who is also one of our Tiare Agents was also mentioned in Travel + Leisure.

In the Travel Agent Magazine of September 11, 2006, the publication recognized the strenghs and necessities for Destination Specialist Programs that provide extensive training to retail travel agents. Manuia to Lisa Hoppe with Lisa Hoppe Consulting who positions herself as being "Wisconsin' s first Certified Tahiti Tiare Agent" and our thanks to Lisa for mentionning that the program increased her confidence in selling the destination.

Last but not least, one of the most popular bride-to-be magazines, Bridal Guide - November/December issue, features personal experiences from three newlywed couples who recently returned from their honeymoons and shared with the readers their experiences about their "Islands Escapes". Jade and Jack Staub have renewed their vows at the Bora Bora Nui Resort and Spa and were joined by 47 family and friends. Our Certified Tahiti Tiare Agent Ellen Clark from Value Vacation was responsible for the couples' memorable experiences.
