Over 2100 agents download Press Releases TRAVEL DAILY | Thursday 10 August 2006

TA Fastrack yesterday had a server meltdown when over 2100 travel agents across the country immediately downloaded information to help them make the media aware of why consumers should always use a travel agent. 

An email was sent out to over 3500 agents showing how to effectively use the media and press releases to convince the public to always use a travel agent to book their travel.  'We were taken by surprise by the number of agents downloading the information," said TA Fastrack CEO, Adrian Caruso. "We had to mirror our site and limit the number of downloads.  But everything is back to normal now".

The email was part of TA Fastrack's ongoing campaign in helping travel agents to start educating their customers and the public on the benefits of using a travel agent and the various on-line travel scams that currently exist. "It is essential travel agents across Australia and start pushing the message to the media why booking travel through a travel agent is always the best option for consumers. There is not better alternative," said Mr. Caruso.
