TAKE THE VACATION PERSONALITY QUIZ
Free, Revised Pamphlet from USTOA

With vacation season nearly here, travel agents have a new tool to help clients find the right vacation for their personality.

USTOA has a newly revised pamphlet with a self-scoring, 15-question "Vacation Personality Quiz." The free pamphlet asks travelers to answer a series of questions based on their personality.

Results fall into three categories: Escorted Tour Traveler, Special Interest or Adventure Traveler, and Independent Package Traveler.

Based on the selected category, travelers can narrow their vacation choices, selecting the type of vacation that is right for them.

As part of its efforts to support the travel agent distribution system, USTOA is distributing the pamphlet to consumer travel media, encouraging readers of newspapers and magazines to consult a travel agent with the results of their test.

The new pamphlet is also part of USTOA's Smart Traveler's Planning Kit that agents can distribute to clients. Copies of the kit can be ordered free of charge by phoning 1-800-GO-USTOA (468-7862). The quiz is also available on the USTOA website: www.ustoa.com.

Also available for travel agents is USTOA's "Travel Agent's Kit." In addition to the pamphlets contained in the Smart Traveler's Planning Kit, the travel agent's kit contains important background information on USTOA.

USTOA numbers more than 140 companies that package destinations domestically and worldwide. Members have met strict industry standards, including participation in the USTOA $1 Million Consumer Protection Plan, the highest protection plan in the travel industry.
