The
Travel Talk Mission
Travel Talk Radio's mission is to
facilitate communications between tour operators, wholesales, travel
agents and consumers. Both Travel Talk Radio Online and Travel Talk Radio AM
radio programs were created and based on the belief that travel is a
catalyst for creating communication, peace, and commerce among
the countries and communities of the world. Our approach has been to
accommodate the travel professional and savvy traveler by interviewing
Travel Industry leaders and reviewing the latest in travel products and
services. Travel Talk Radio is committed to creating an easy-to-use,
reliable and ever-growing directory of audio interviews and news
clippings. Each audio clip includes links to quality content that supports
the travel agent community and promotes travel to a travel savvy audience.Travel
Talk Radio has adopted the following
credo
from the International Institute for
Peace through Tourism (IIPT.org)
as a reminder that if we can live in harmony with the world,
world peace is possible. This creed is posted at all programs on the
Travel Talk Radio Web site.
The
Travelers Commitment to Peace
As a traveler we are grateful for the opportunity to
travel and experience
the world and because peace begins with the individual,
please consider the following words as a personal responsibility and
commitment to:
- Journey with an open mind and gentle heart

- Accept with grace and gratitude the diversity I
encounter -
- Revere and protect the natural environment which
sustains all life -
- Appreciate all cultures I discover -
- Respect and thank my hosts for their
welcome -
- Offer my hand in friendship to everyone I
meet -
- Support travel services that share these views
and act upon them and,
by my spirit, words and actions, encourage others to travel the world in
peace -
