When we step back and think about it, we wonder why someone else hadn't thought of this idea sooner. Maybe they have and we were the first to action it. Either way, its now here!
Allow me to start by asking you a little question....
Why Do We Travel?
Is it to go to other countries to stay hotel rooms and explore their wonderful range of decor and in house
movies? Do we travel to compare flavors of Big Macs and Starbucks from country to country? It is our belief that we travel to explore the world, its cultures and its people, especially it's PEOPLE.
The people of the world have never had as much access to each other in the entire history of the human race, as they have today. This is due to this powerful tool called the internet. Suddenly you have access to people and places in the world that you would never even have hoped to see or meet just a few short years ago.
Imagine if you will - What would happen if a company were to deliberately build a system to allow people to access and interact with each other as part of its travel club. It allowed for that community to build itself with the full support of a company dedicated to travel and securing deals that allowed them to save "over 50%" or more on their travels...
Welcome To VacationEasy.com!
With the advent and explosion of the internet the world has changed forever! For all that has changed, most companies aren't really using the internet the way it was meant to be used. Most company websites are nothing more than a digital catalogue or a digital business card. We have learnt from their mistakes.
The internet is much more sophisticated and powerful than most people even recognize.
Its ability to
return the power to the masses is only just becoming recognised. So what has this to do with travel?
Hold your breath my friends. Kansas is going bye bye...
What if you were a member of a world community with over 200,000 members from all over the planet... every continent... almost every country... would that change the way you travel, the experience you have for travel, the things you can expect to see and experience in your travels? Would it even change your day to day life? I would be happy to bet that the answer would be a definite YES.....
Community Travel... are you talking about Hippies touring around on a bus together? Or is it a massive tour group you're talking about?
No no... what we mean by community travel is, people connected by the internet, by the WEB of humanity (yes i know that's corny). We are talking about using the power of all that knowledge and experience to help you travel better and to have more fun. We are also talking about the buying power of a group so large, you become a somebody to the airlines and hotels. You become supported within this group and by this group....
How does the idea of having 200,000 travel advisors around the world work for you, 200,000 adventure partners,
200,000 friends?? We hope your getting the picture.
This is our vision: The creation of the most powerful community based web travel company in the world, a community so connected and interactive that it redefines the idea of a global travel. To cross over the tipping point where the people and community dictate their wants and needs to the travel world not the suppliers and moguls.
So how do we propose on doing this?... We are glad you asked!
Firstly, through technology.We have some of the best designers and coders in the world working tirelessly to create the kind of technology that has functionality and ease of use that makes interaction effortless and fun.
Secondly, through our access to Wholesale travel suppliers. We start with access to over 70,000 properties worldwide from 3 star all the way to 5 star. We have cruises, flights, car hire... the list goes on. Most of our catalogue is between 25% - and 55% off....
Thirdly, through a little business twist that will allow you to pay for your travel effortlessly. Just by your referring others to the club, you have the opportunity to make a business for yourself and some extra money for that next vacation. Maybe you would like to fly business class? (We promise we will not be imposing the business upon you. It is not the way we work here. You will not even hear about it without you asking about it, Promise!
Where Does It All Start ??
There are 4 stages to any holiday adventure.....
1. The Planning
2. The Organizing and Booking
3. The Adventure
4. The Sharing and the Memories
Our whole vision is wrapped around this understanding, and how to make it as effortless and easy as possible, VacationEasy!
As such we have developed sites and products to support each of these stages.
The initial offering consists of 3 aspects
: The Global Travel Pass :
: The Travel Education System :
: The Travel Support System :
The Global Travel Pass
The Global Travel pass is a collection of the following tools...
The Catalogue - Access to our massive and growing catalogue of wholesale travel and services.
The catalogue allows access to over 70,000 properties around the world all at massively discounted rates. We also have Flights, a sea full of Cruises, highway's of car hire and everything else that a travelers needs.

The Loyalty Rewards Program - A new kind of points and loyalty program that will grow as our community grows. (Due for wider global release by Aug 08)
The Travel Education System
The aim here is to help people learn the secrets of how to make travel fun, economical and allow you the best experience you can have. Travelling is not all obvious. There are some things that take years to work out, and others you never do unless someone on
the inside tells you.......
What we have to start you off is a mixture of some sites, and some
exclusive Ebooks that will blow your mind.
The initial sites will be the following:
* WORLDTRAVELLERSJOURNAL.COM
The only way to describe this site is an online
encyclopedia of all
our members travel history.
Being search-able and explorable it will allow
anyone
travelling to a destination visited by a member to learn what is worth seeing and what is worth missing.
* SUPER TRAVEL FORUM
A Forum that will allow you to ask the group
questions and get direct advice, from locals in a country and from
those that have a passion for that country.
*THREE INITIAL EBOOKS (many will be added)
TRAVEL AGENTS SECRETS:
How to get flights at travel agents prices.
TRAVEL EMERGENCY:
The things you wished you knew before you got on the plane.
HOTEL SECRETS OF THE JET SET:
How you end up in the penthouse.
On top of all of that we are in talks at the moment with a travel video supply company that is going to allow us to stream their videos directly from our site. This will allow people to explore the countries they are curious about from the comfort of their own home. An added value to our community without any added cost.
Finally, there is the,
Travel support system...
This is our biggest ace, and honestly, talking about it does it no credit. It can only be appreciated when it is used, a major work in progress. It consists of numerous sites, all accessible via the Travel club. The sites that we are creating and developing are as follows:
PEACE OF MIND TRAVEL PORTAL
Consisting of:
* EMERGENCY SITE * SECURITY SITE * Clubhouse Members site * FLIGHT PORTAL (Competitive analysis of the top flight providers online).
As you recall, I mentioned the stages involved in planning an adventure. Well, this is where our super support system makes your vacations the best you have ever had...
In the planning stage, we have the worldtravellersjournal.com, the super travel forum, and the personal travel network. These are community portals that allow people to share with others their travelling experiences, places they have been and restaurants they have eaten in etc. For example if you were visiting New Delhi in India... and wanted to know about a great restaurant, you could search in the site and find reviews of various restaurants in New Delhi. If you wanted to see if there were any other members going to New Delhi during your trip, you might use the Super Travel Forum, or the personal travel network...
All in all the aim here is to help you make the best decisions you can and to make the most of what is sometimes, not enough time in any
country.
We could go on for hours about the travel support system, but instead we are just going to skip to the security and emergency portals. When you book your trip, you can go to the security portal and input the details of your trip and your complete itinerary. The system will then locate all the necessary numbers applicable to you. So for example, let's say you're an Australian travelling to Italy, Germany, Dubai and then Hong Kong, you will be able to locate the Australian embassy in each of the countries and also your airlines and banking locations. We are integrating Google maps into the system so you can also use the world's best mapping system to help you find your way through foreign countries.
Should you ever need any help on your travelling adventures, you will be able to access this information easily and know where to seek the help you need. The second half of this is the security portal: a highly secure and encrypted system where you can input all your sensitive data, passport numbers, drivers license, credit cards etc. Should you ever have the misfortune to lose your valuables, you will be able to access your online safe and at least have all your data available. These portals are also evolving. Soon they will be manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week, with an operator. So should a disaster of any sort be fall a member whilst they are on a vacation, we will be there to help you. This service will be coming online later in the year.
Yes there is a price to join our Club. $240 US Dollars. If all you were getting were the discount travel alone this would be good value, but considering the complete Membership Value, this is a gift. We know once you have experienced our team and our club, you will certainly agree.
We are online travel company that has made it an essential part of company's identity to build and nurture the world community. We have the all the resource needed to focus our skill, our team on helping the people of the world access to each other, and to the wide body of experience that is available on this planet... Vacation Easy... here to extend the interaction and expansion of our experience of each other....
We hope you will feel the desire to be part of this growing wave of the Global Travel Community. It would be our pleasure to support and serve you if and when you do.
