travel.state.gov helps travel agents
Does your client:
- Need a passport?
- Need to find out about foreign visa requirements?
- Need up-to-date information on conditions in a foreign country?
Does your travel agency/service have a homepage?
Why not add a hotlink to travel.state.gov to ensure that your on-line customers can directly connect to us for official requirements,
downloadable application forms, where to conveniently apply, and a wealth of other passport and international travel information!
Help us help your customers!
Has your travel agency/service developed software for customer tracking?
Why not add your clients'' passport expiration dates as flag items when booking international travel. This will enable you
to send them renewal reminders before their passports expires, saving them (and you) time and money.
