INTELETRAVEL PARTNERS WITH BLACK PROFESSIONALS
Host Agency Opens Travel To New Market
(Delray Beach, Florida; July 1, 2007) FraserNet, the nation's largest organization of black professionals, signed a marketing partnership agreement with InteleTravel.com, the longtime host agency, to bring business opportunity in travel, and travel products and services, to an underserviced market. InteleTravel will offer both its Independent Travel Agent home-based business program, and its cruises, vacations and other retail travel products, to over 1 million FraserNet members and subscribers, through live regional events, the FraserNet website (www.frasernet.com), FraserNet publications, the annual 4-day PowerNetworking Conference, and other channels.
Founded in 1987 by chairman George Fraser, a noted speaker and author on business networking and success for African Americans, FraserNet's vision is to lead a global networking movement among success-minded Black professionals, business owners and entrepreneurs. The company's products and services teach and promote effective networking; facilitate business-to-business and business-to-consumer trading; and supply mentoring and models for business development. For example, FraserNet publishes SuccessGuide Worldwide-The Networking Guide to Black Resources.
FraserNet members reside in every state in the continental U.S., and throughout Canada, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. FraserNet.com is the #1 most visited Black networking website in North America. The organization also features Black America's largest faculty of speakers, coaches, trainers and authors who contribute their time, expertise and resources to mentor members. In addition, FraserNet measures thousands of jobs secured for members, and hundreds of grants awarded to college students.
FraserNet also produces the annual PowerNetworking Conference in July in Atlanta, Georgia. This year's event, themed "It's Time To Focus - Leveraging Our Global Resources For Building Wealth In The 21st Century", featured insights and inspiration from some of the best minds in Black America, including Dr. Myles Munroe, Danny Glover, and Les Brown, among many others. Major sponsors included Ford Motor Co., Delta Airlines and InteleTravel.com. InteleTravel is also attending quarterly events produced by FraserNet chapters across the country, in cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, Richmond, St. Louis, Washington, DC, and Detroit.
"We're talking about an 'incomparable forum to connect', an 'unrivaled network of support', and a 'first class outreach' that enhances the economic lives of Black people. The 'PowerNetworking Movement' is historic. Never before in the history of Black America has such an undertaking been made," said FraserNet chairman George Fraser.
He added, "My message always includes these two yearly goals for my audiences: Add new streams of income every year, and support those who support us. InteleTravel represents a way to hit both targets squarely at once."
Jerry Deutsch, InteleTravel.com Vice President, explained, "George Fraser is a recognized leader in the Black community and a pioneer in opening for them a long-closed door to business and success. We are proud to work alongside FraserNet and provide access to the joy and earning potential of the travel industry."
Established in 1998 as the online successor to the earlier InteleTravel International, one of the originators of the home-based travel agent concept (1992), InteleTravel.com has a worldwide network of thousands of full and part-time independent travel agents who refer families, friends, co-workers, etc., to its booking technology to purchase most major travel products. In return, agents earn up to 80% of the agency's commissions. Today, the concept has become a pillar of the travel industry, accounting for 7 billion dollars a year in travel sales, according to a 2006 Credit Suisse First Boston report. In addition to this strategic marketing partnerships with groups like FraserNet and eWomenNetwork, InteleTravel.com is planning a complete re-launch of its website, preferred supplier program, and other services later in 2007. The agency is endorsed by IATAN, and a member of CLIA, ARTA and OSSN.
