Tripology and CCRA International Sign Preferred Alliance

NEW YORK – (September 29, 2008) – Tripology, the leading interactive travel referral service, today announced an agreement with CCRA International that makes Tripology one of the organization’s preferred suppliers.

"We are pleased to introduce this new relationship with CCRA International, which is one of the top travel industry marketing and distribution channels with more than 22,000 travel agencies," said John T. Peters, CTIE, President and CEO of Tripology.  “As the only dedicated travel referral service showcased by CCRA International in their exclusive B2B booking portal CCRAtravel.com, we look forward to working with all of their expert travel specialists to help them maximize Tripology leads to boost income and recession proof their business.”

“This new alliance with Tripology further enhances CCRA’s member offerings, giving our traditional and home-based agents a novel and economical way to harness the Internet to grow business and access new customers,” said Dic Marxen, President and CEO of CCRA International.

“It’s no secret that having a specialist with destination expertise or specialized experience in a type of travel – such as cruising or religious pilgrimages, as many CCRA member agents have -- can certainly be an immense advantage. Yet many surveys and research findings reveal that consumers have difficulty finding specialized travel agents to help arrange their trips. Tripology is designed to fill that gap and, through this new alliance, will help CCRA agents to access high-intent travelers seeking their travel planning expertise.” said Veronique Deblois, Vice President of Travel Trade Sales and Marketing for Tripology.

“Specialization is what we emphasize and continue finding that agents who best showcase their area(s) of expertise to prospective travelers via Tripology are getting more and more business and are increasing their earnings with the service,” continued Deblois.

Tripology.com has been appropriately designed to be easy and risk free for specialists to join and use whenever they seek incremental business. The site’s user friendly interface and tools helps ensure the success of the travel specialist industry. Plus, registration is free; there are no membership fees and no minimum purchase is necessary. Specialists only purchase the leads they want.
