Traveler ID Adds Personal Touch To Travel — New Online Service Simplifies Travel Booking Process, Expands Beta Launch To 25,000 More Travelers
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2006
Interactive Travel Group today announced an expansion of its controlled beta launch of Traveler ID, a new, web-based service that enables travelers to receive personalized service no matter where they book their travel. The company will open up Traveler ID to an additional 25,000 travelers. The service is available at www.travelerid.com and has been in private beta since early May.
“We’ve just added some great new features travelers are going to love,” said a company spokesperson. “We’re excited to invite more travelers to use our service and begin simplifying their travel experience.”
Traveler ID’s professional, easy-to-use website (www.travelerid.com) allows travelers to create comprehensive travel profiles, including air, hotel, car rental and vacation preferences — in less than three minutes — and provides each user with a unique identification number, a Traveler ID. The users themselves decide how much information they feel comfortable sharing.
Thereafter, whenever a user books travel at a travel website within the Traveler ID network, the user simply provides his or her Traveler ID number and passcode, and the user’s travel profile and preferences are instantly transmitted to the website, speeding up the booking process. The user is in full control over when and with whom the user’s profile is shared.
Traveler ID is completely free for travelers and charges travel websites a nominal fee for access to travelers’ profiles.
“We’re just about ready to open up to the general public,” said a company spokesperson. “We expect to go live for all travelers by the end of the year. Users who don’t make it into the beta program at this time will be invited to create an account before we open to everyone else.”

Luxury Vacation – Pay Less For More
To start, make clear and concise goals. Do you need the vacation for healing purposes? Or just traveling to relax your mind. Different people travel for different reasons. Try to reconcile your needs with those of your travel companions. To avoid tension, be sure to discuss your plans openly with whoever you are traveling you. Come to a common understanding early.
Everything else becomes easier to plan for when you are clear about what you want. For example, if you are traveling to relax, focus more on that. Try to travel with people who share the same goals as you. Make a list of the equipment that you will need. How many days do you intend to spend golfing? It is sometimes good to have variety.
Variety actually helps to keep your entertained throughout the entire trip. You want want to plan for a massage session after a full day of sight seeing. Your vacation will then be filled with fun and exciting activities.
In sum, make sure that your plan works in your favor. Don’t set yourself up for more stress. Distractions are abundant, so you must be careful not to let them spoil your vacation. If possible, leave all your work and worries behind. Having some peaceful moments to yourself is rare and precious. Your travel plan will help you achieve that.
Now is the time to choose a luxury vacation destination. Where would be most ideal? Each destination will have its own unique characteristics. But there will be a place that will appeal to your own personal preferences.
On luxury holidays, you will be staying in villas instead of resorts. We are not talking about resorts here. Villas are private dwellings with their very own facilities. They are very private, and offers a lot of peace and quiet. For this simple reason, the rental will be much higher. But in return, you get more space.
The most expensive destinations are those from developed countries. This is because real estate prices are high in such countries. Thus, be prepared to pay 2 to 3 times more.
For a much lower price, you can enjoy staying in villas in Asian countries. You can expect prices to be very reasonable.
In addition, sights are more interesting and uncommon. For instance, the people in Asian villas dress in traditional costumes that you may have never seen before. Luxury villas in destinations such as Bali are renowned for their exotic feel. Even the surroundings may be a breath of fresh air. For ultimate luxury, try staying in a super large 5 room villa!
So who says you have to spend a fortune to enjoy luxury holidays? Just spend a little more time looking around. If Asian destinations don’t suit you, try Australia or New Zealand.
