Many members have asked for a resource to help them get
their businesses online - fast, easy and affordably.
We are very pleased to announce we have licensed the
easiest and best website builder available for exclusive
use of our members. How do we know this is the best? We
run and manage five sites here, and were one of the
earliest “pioneers” of the online travel industry. We have
been researching custom web sites for over two years now
and when we discovered this program we were convinced it
would do wonders for our members. So convinced we decided
to build the Goexperience.com web site off the same
platform.
With this builder by your side, you will have no more
excuses for not having a website. If you already have a
web site, most likely it’s clumsy, out-of-date and
expensive to operate. You’ll find the GO member web site
program to be a refreshing alternative.
Our GO member custom web site program includes all the
vital features your business needs to be successful online
and is so affordable - less than $25.00 per month! Best
of all it is so easy you don't need to have any programming
or design experience to use it - if you can type a letter
and click a mouse, you will be able to build a great
website.
Our custom web site builder includes everything your
business needs: ecommerce, shopping cart, newsletter,
domain name, catalog, photo album, maps, customer feedback
forms, links pages, over 400 templates, email, easy web
page editor, order tracking, coupons, and more!
Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out details on
this new program, so stay tuned. In the meantime, start
thinking about how you can better communicate with your
existing customer and the new ones you can capture when you
become part of the $48 billion online travel industry.

Our Next Teleconference
Our next teleconference will be held on Friday, August 27,
at 1PM Eastern time. The session will be led by Mike
Marchev from GO. We had earlier announced that the program
would be on the GO Group Cruise Program. It won’t be. As
these things go, although we have reached agreement with a
company to provide this program, they don’t have all their
ducks in order yet and are in fact reprogramming their
booking platform as we speak. What we are going to go over
are the details of our new One-rate Group Travel Insurance
Program. You have asked that we develop this to allow you
to pre-package insurance into your tours and cruises
without having to go through the hassle of getting a quote.
We have this in place now. There is no charge, but you
must register at www.goexperience.com. If you are unable
to attend, the CD will be available for sale in the GO
Books and CDs section for $12.

Do a Friend a Favor
If you know of another group travel planner who would
benefit from GO membership, please let them know about us.
It will help the organization, and therefore you, to do so.
Why? Because the greater collective buying power we have,
the better deals we will be able to make with our vendors.
And because the best way to build membership is by your
recommendation.

GO Road Shows
We are planning two different traveling seminars for late
’04 – early ’05. These will involve a familiarization trip
combined with educational seminars and a mini-trade show.
These will be primarily for GO members, but available seats
will also be offered to prospective members at a higher
price. Watch for them!
If you have any suggestions for me on improving GO
services, please drop me an email at

day!
