Congratulations are in order.
YTB's lovable CEO, J. Kim Sorensen, was named one of the most influential figures in the travel industry. The article was published by Travel Weekly.
Travel Weekly, in its November 20, 2007 article, states that the "most influential" list is filled with people who have veered from the status quo and succeeded so spectacularly that they have influenced the course travel is taking in 2007, and will be just as influential in 2008.
Here's how J. Kim Sorensen graciously responded:
I am truly honored and humbled to be included on this list, especially since YTB is not about me, but about the great team and the huge network of representatives and referring travel agents that were willing to take a chance on a new way to sell travel. I speak for the entire company when I thank Travel Weekly for recognizing the huge potential of YTB.
You can read the whole article, "Club 33: The Most Influential People In The Travel Industry", at Travel Weekly.
This is wonderful news for YTB and its RTAs (Referring Travel Agents). YTB is growing at an alarming rate, and this article is evidence that YTB will be in for the long haul.
If you are still thinking about the possibility of becoming an RTA, this news should excite you into jumping on board. There has never been a better time to join the YTB family. There is only one way to go, and that is UP!
Travel Weekly's 2007 Power List named YTB the nation's 35th largest seller of travel and the 11th largest agency for primarily leisure travel for the year 2006.
Congratulations J. Kim Sorensen. You deserve it!
