MSC - dept 28 Dec - Cabin available

We have a cancellation on an MSC booking for the Mauritius departure 28th December for 11 nights.

As it was booked quite some time we have a really good rate on this booking , it is for 2 adults in a Balcony cabin and last time I checked there weren’t any balcony cabins lefts on this cruise.

Clients are no longer travelling and would like to recover their deposit of R3000 paid to MSC by allowing someone else the chance to take over their booking with a name change instead of cancelling completely and losing out on that deposit.

The name change fee would be R600 per person / R1200 for the couple.

Total cost of the cruise = R 40173.00 + R 1200 change fee = R 44 373.00

Celebrating Durban July 2019 in style at the Oyster Box .

Life is like a box of...... fish??

Client just back from Cherepovets, Russia, brought me this box of chocolates.

The description for these off a Russian online store is "Intellectuals are people too and they are pleased to receive as a gift not a pair of socks, but something more original. 'Zakon intellectual' is perfect for this purpose. The present is designed in the form of a can of sprats: an elongated box with a transparent top, size 19 x 9.5 x 2.5 cm. Inside the chocolate figures with praline filling in the shape of fish, wrapped in foil with the image of sprat fish."

Sure Hotel Hub-feedback

I have done a quick comparison and the results is Fantastic – I used Anthea’s code to check the WIN site out and Voila WIN came out tops for the same room type on all 4 sites.  Also checked out combinedhotels.com and they could not improve on the price.   Clients will not be able to hold us to ransom saying they can get better prices on Bookings.com as we have a great tool.  Thanks a mil.

Sure Voyager Travel is 35 Years old

Sure Voyager Travel is 35 Years old!!  I started the Agency on 1 Sept 1983 and in the past 35 years have gone through many valleys but, with the support of my family, great staff, wonderfully loyal clients and very significantly, amazing colleagues, peers, my many Sure Member friends and very much so, Vanya, Odete, Geraldine and many other very special people we have been blessed to have at Sure over the years -  Here I am at the top of one of the Mountains!!! 

You ALL know that owning a Travel Agency is a really tough call and to not only survive what we weather along the way but to prosper financially and in spirit, takes a special sort of drive and passion.  I know I stand amongst many of you who have this too…..it’s a challenging way to earn your crust – but I wouldn’t swap it for ANYTHING!! 

Thank you all for your support and friendship over so many years – may we all continue to reinvent ourselves and support each other for many years to come. We Sure People are a wonderful clan and I adore what we have….

Lots of hugs and love – Janet Aldworth

20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - Rhoma Lombard

Join us in celebrating Rhoma's 20th year with Sure Travel Rendezvous.  What an amazing feat!

Rhoma started with SAA in Upington in 1978 then moved to the 'Big City' to American Express Travel Pretoria in 1980, became manager there in 1989 and then became American Express manager of Groups and Incentives in 1996. After a very short 7 month stint at Concorde Travel in 1997 she joined us on the 01st February 1998 and has just never left!!  She tells me she is VERY happy at Sure Travel Rendezvous.  Rhoma is the consummate professional without whose dedication we could NEVER survive.  Her practical knowledge of the travel industry as well as various wordly destinations makes her extrodinarily popular with her very loyal regular and other clients year in and year out.   She really loves her travel job dearly.

We look forward to the BIG celebration in 5 years time ........

BEWARE: Corporate Referral & Booking Fraud

Corporate referral and booking fraud is like the land of milk and honey for fraudsters. The kind of corporations most susceptible to this form of fraud are larger international corporations. 

They’ll do their online research on a corporation, and pose as an executive, someone higher up in the corporation and then sometimes they’ll even make a phone call to the corporation trying to get a lower-level person to tell them which travel agency is their corporate agent. Then they dupe the employee, the corporation employee, into referring them to someone at the corporate travel agency. So at the agency it’s viewed as a referral, an inside referral . . .

Some of these guys, they’ll know to wait to get ahold of the after hours service. They’ll wait later in the day in order to specifically get to the after hours service because here’s fewer people to ask around if it’s a legit request.

Since the referral would be coming from a trusted corporate customer, it’s unlikely a travel agent would ever decline to do business with the fraudulent account.

Moral of this story? Check into validity of a new client, even if it’s a referral.
