My first guest on today’s show was Jeff Stanislow, Partner with National TravelDeals.Com. This Tampa based online travel agent currently offers rental car services on their site – https://www.nationaltraveldeals.com and will soon be offering hotel and airline deals as well. Jeff is an online marketing specialist and has built two other Internet and Advertising agencies, most recently Chief Internet Marketer. He is an adjunct professor with Walsh College and teaches graduate level classes in interactive marketing. Jeff and I spoke of Uber and Lyft primarily in the first segment. With the announcement today that LAX is allowing these ride sharing programs to operate inside their airport, this was a topical discussion and is foreshadowing of what to expect in the transportation/tourism business. With reduced overhead, services like Uber and Lyft present a disruption in traditional taxi services and a challenge to industry regulators because of the complaints from taxi unions of increased costs due to taxes and regulatory fees versus consumers who like the convenience and lower costs of the ride sharing options. Some communities have banned the service altogether but many consumers are pushing back and the future of the service remains to be seen. Jeff also shared some top travel destinations and industry insights as well as what is on the horizon in the travel industry in this segment. Be sure to keep an eye on – https://www.nationaltraveldeals.com for your next trip as the site develops and grows into a leading online travel agency!
