THE PERFECT ROOM by The Travel Group: For the Non-Business travellers

For the Non-Business travellers

I agree with many of the great amenities already noted.

From a different perspective, for the non-business travellers, ie. families, the perfect room would include the ability and willingness to accommodate a family of 4 or 5. (especially overseas). It's just not practical to ask parents with younger children to stay in separate rooms with a child in each room. Or leave kids in a room of their own.
Although an apartment would be ideal, it's not always an option depending on the location or time frame.

About David

David still misses his original career as a travel consultant, so occasionally dabbles in an intriguing reservation from time to time, "just to keep from getting rusty!" Originally from Ontario, he moved to beautiful BC in 1980 and entered the travel agency business shortly after, eventually building a partnership under The Travel Group name in 1987.

"When I started in this industry, we were still writing some airline tickets out by hand, manually typing out invoices, and booking hotels by phone or telex. Telex! Remember that?" laughs David. The industry has come a long way since then, most of it to the better for both consumers and professional travel consultants, but David has tried to steer his agency along a path that exploits all the benefits of new technologies while still emphasizing the human element of the business.

"We can sometimes get too obsessed with automation and technology, and forget that what customers really want are meat-and-potato things like customer service, creativity, and a sense of humour," he says. Although he has a pretty big company to oversee now, David still tries to stay connected to all of his original clients, many of whom go way back to the 1980's when he started in the business.
