Finding reputable travel agents
Knowing when to plan your event
They come by land and by air, travelers fighting their way through crowded airports and unfamiliar cities, making their way to your event. A smooth trip means they arrive relaxed, refreshed, and ready to focus; give them a poorly planned trip, and they walk in the door fatigued and frustrated.
When you make travel arrangements for people attending your meeting or conference, you have a certain level of control over their mental state when they arrive.

This chapter tells you what you need to know about arranging air travel and ground transportation, and it helps you choose a reputable travel agent. The skills you learn here can also help you when you plan your own travel —perhaps a well-deserved vacation after the meeting is over?
