THE third in a series of “Travel Talks” is
planned as a workshop to inform interested trav-
ellers about the process of planning travel for
small or large groups of family or friends.

The evening is being hosted by North Shore’s Travel
Concepts on Thursday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. in their Ambleside
Office, 1716 Marine Drive, West Vancouver.
As the millennium approaches, the two Travel Concepts
offices on the North Shore have seen an increase in the number
of requests for travel arrangements in celebration of a special
event or anniversary. Cindy Horton, CTC, managing partner of
the Edgemont Village office and a specialist in group travel, says
“In today’s busy world, people are feeling nostalgic about the
past. They want to recreate or celebrate special events in their
lives and be transported to a different place in time.”
One of the best ways to celebrate is to customize a getaway
that will appeal to all the participants. For example, Travel
Concepts has just completed a 3-day reunion for over 100
descendants of-a Canadian senator.
The family found it was always gathcring for funerals rather
than happy events, so it assembled at a family-oriented resort in
central Canada for Thanksgiving weekend.
As both budget and vacation time are major considerations,
substantial lead time is required. Over the years, Travel
Concepts has been involved in booking many unique events for
groups of as few as 20 to as many as 200 members. The inter-
active Travel Talk jrorkshop will provide ideas on suitable des-
tinations and tips for planning the ultimate reunion experience. EI { d t
