On June 9, 2008 Travel Alliance Partners, LLC voted Adventure Caravans of Livingston, TX; CTN Travels of Midland, NC and Shenandoah Tours of Staunton, VA as the newest partners in the elite tour operator organization.

TAP has increased its number of tour operators to 37 in the past year.

“I am very excited to have the addition of these three new partners,” said Serge Talbot, President of TAP. “They will be a great benefit to TAP and will help us achieve our overall goals of creating a network of high quality tour operators in order to buy and sell product, maximize tour operator profits and supply our customers with the best possible travel opportunities.”

The process of adding new partners is strictly administered to ensure that TAP will remain the best travel partnership in North America. Each new applicant must be nominated by one of the existing members. Then they are reviewed and voted on by every member to guarantee TAP has the proper compliment of tour operators in order to serve the mission of the organization.

According to Tina Poole of Adventure Caravans, “We joined TAP because of its excellent reputation in the travel industry. We are thrilled about what we can now offer our customers and give other partners the opportunity of RV travel.”

“We are trying to explore new demographics and partnerships with our new partners. With Adventure Caravans we expand into the RV area, with CTN Travels we gain better bank club share, and with Shenandoah Tours, we gain a relationship with a longstanding and outstanding member of the travel industry.” said Jim Palmeri, TAP’s managing Director.
