Honeymoon Specialist Knows Tahiti

Honeymoon specialist becomes Tahiti Tiare specialist after extensive training.

Denver, Colo.  May 3, 2006 -- If planning the vacation of a lifetime, or perhaps honeymoon and you wanted to go to an exotic island destination, wouldn’t you want to talk to a live person like a travel agent first? And wouldn’t you want that travel agent to have been there? You would want to talk to someone that has seen the hotels, knows how to get around, knows the different islands and what they have to offer, or where to go to dinner. This is what a Tahiti Tiare Agent is trained for.

Ellen Keralla from Special Occasion Travel in Centennial ( Denver ), Colorado has taken the time and effort to become a Tahiti Tiare Agent – a trained specialist in Tahiti .

“The Tahiti Tiare program is tough, but when you finish you really know the destination,” says Keralla. “A lot of people have a life-long dream of going to Tahiti . So they do a lot of research. But then when they go to book their trip they discover that they really need the help of a travel agent. An agent that has been to Tahiti .”

The Tahiti Tiare program is an intensive training program that Tahiti ’s national tourist office offers to travel agents. Agents don’t get certified until they attend a half-day workshop to learn about the destination and vacation options. Then they have to go to another seminar, put on by a Tahiti tour operator or cruise line. They must also take a trip to Tahiti and Her Islands and experience the country first hand. And there’s more. They have to sell four trips, demonstrating that they can successfully put together and sell Tahiti Vacations….repeatedly.

Keralla says that being a Tahiti Tiare Agent has given her the ability to make people’s dreams come true. But it has also shown her how to identify clients for whom Tahiti might not be the ideal vacation spot. Says Keralla, “ Tahiti is not for everyone. If somebody’s looking for night life or nonstop extreme sports, I gently recommend other places to visit.”

But for travelers seeking a unique getaway to a place of heart stopping beauty, Tahiti and Her Islands is the place. “There is no more romantic place for a honeymoon or anniversary. But that’s not all. There are wonderful cruises throughout the islands. There is also world class scuba diving and yachting. No matter what you do on your trip, you get to experience the genuine warmth of the Polynesian people. I’d say that is one of the most remarkable things about traveling to this destination.”
