About the Book

Have you ever wondered how the travel industry works, or how all those online travel sites function? Do you enjoy travel and find yourself curious about the inner workings of the travel industry? For travel industry veterans and current professionals, Travel, Turbulence and Technology provides a fully cited historical record of the major events that drew the travel industry into the most chaotic time in Canadian corporate history - told from the viewpoint of an industry insider. Retail travel agencies, airlines, and the technology that unites them collided - not just in Canada - but globally. For travellers who "book their own travel", this book takes the reader through the history of the industry, explains how it works, and offers suggestions for navigating the online travel world. The book also chronicles The Renaissance that the world of travel agents is enjoying, why that happened, and what that means for travellers. I am sorry this book is not available as an eBook... There are some extensive tables in the Appendices that are formatted in such a way that makes it impossible to convert them.
About the Author: From Jan's first airplane ride as an easily dazzled young teenager to her time as a travel industry veteran with 25 years in the industry, travel has been her passion. She has travelled to more than 70 countries and all 7 continents, worked in the industry, and been involved at the most senior levels of the industry's political organizations at times of great change. She then went on to work in academia in tourism and international education. Now retired, Jan is turning her thoughts toward writing... 1.Her first book on the travel industry is from an insider perspective (Travel, Turbulence and Technology: An Insider Memoir) 2.Then coming later in 2018 is the perspective of a cruise passenger on a journey around the world (Around the World in 111 Days) 3.And in the early draft stage is a new perspective on travel... Africa for Scaredy Cats 4. Also in the works is a series called "The Travelist" ======== "I don't really feel like a 'traveller' in the exotic, adventurous, ultra-low cost/high risk sense of the word. But nor do I feel like a 'tourist' in the stereotypical sense either. I feel like I am a little of both, with new elements thrown in for good measure... what I like to call a 'travelist'! But I also don't feel alone in this style of thinking and travelling. I think I represent a large number of people who like to travel, but who find little in the writing genre that reflects their personal style. I want to write stories that represent the vast majority of travellers - those who stay in hotels, who sail on cruise ships, who take tours... but who do so with a high level of intellectual curiosity. Are you a 'travelist' too? Stand by for more in 2018!"
