YTB TRAVEL COMPLAINT PROBLEMSor Traverus Travel televerus cell phones
It appears that YTB has some YTB travel problems with all the YTB travel complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau and now federal court. Notwithstanding, the set up is wrong. The prospective referred travel agent or RTA for Your Travel Biz (YTB). YTB international, at one time charged a $500 start up fee and monthly fees around $50 per month. Notwithstanding, the complaints filed in several states on behalf of 90 or so Travel agents of YTB have created some problems.
The YTB travel problems and therefore all the YTB travel complaints, are manifest in the overall YTB vision. YTB was organized first to sell a marketing idea, with very low success rate. Some statistics, while not clearly substantiated or completedly confirmed, cite that 82% of YTB travel agents do not succeed in earning anything. Perhaps what should be scrutinized is its concept. YTB is absent any knowledge about travel industry and YTB travel complaints were bound to manifest. The YTB travel problem was an experience in learning about the travel business, an experiment, at the expense of its workforce and the consumer. YTB travel problems are not going away.
Yet, it attributes loss in the second quarter to a “change in the mix of marketing commissions, increased costs associated with infrastructure growth, as well as costs associated with the ongoing implementation of new business strategies company-wide.” Despite a total year-to-year quarterly revenue increase of 36.5 percent, YTB Travel International reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2008.
Perhaps another nail in the coffin for YTB travel problems and YTB travel complaints is IATA terminating YTB, which means suppliers and vendors will be disassociating themselves with YTB. Also, former YTB associates have severed ties and found a better company; ie, Traverus. YTB travel complaints are not existent with Traverus.
Traverus Travel is a licensed, bonded and certified worldwide travel company based in Allen, Tx and is just beginning expanding its workforce of independent agents in over 90 countries worldwide Traverus, the number one full service travel corporation, bonded and approved by the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the Cruise Line International Association (CLIA).
YTB travel problems, the termination with IATA, means it does not have credibility. The set up fees with Traverus are cheaper and the compensation plan better than YTB. Compare a set up fee of 119.95 to the end of the month (Sept 2008) with $500.00 with YTB. The YTB travel problem is they are unqualified and they charge more than a qualified company as is Traverus.
YTB "Interational" purported to be a travel company, rather than what it really is more of a mlm/marketing service. Traverus Travel California is opting to create the largest sales force in the world, and therefore, markets refers out travel agents, but it's training program requires its agents to become "certified" before working direct with vendors. Furthermore, Traverus travel was a 13 year old travel company, before it transitioned and as a number liesure travel company, maintains its status as one of the leading providers of travel services and education in the world.
The compensation plan offered by Traverus Travel California is exceedingly better than anything that YTB offers. The YTB travel complaints filed and the YTB travel problems already manifest with YTB are foundational.
