If you’re next to the Denver Airport it’s well worth checking out Ed Dwight sculptures and artwork. The only word you can say is “amazing” truly a work of art. This gentleman is so humble and it’s such an honor to have him display his work at the Denver Airport.

Passport Guide

Before heading to the airport to begin your vacation, it’s important to make sure that you have all the important documents you will need to travel abroad. Double checking that your passport is up to date and valid for crossing international borders, will alleviate stress in preparing for your trip and allow you to travel with as little worry as possible.

All travelers, including infants, must have their own passports. For those who do not yet have a passport, make sure to apply for one several months in advance of your trip to avoid delays in receiving your documentation. The average processing time for a United States passport is usually six to eight weeks, but COVID-19 related delays may increase this to 12-18 weeks so plan accordingly.

For those who already have a passport, check to make sure that your passport will be valid for at least six months after returning home from your trip. If not, it is recommended that you renew your passport several months before your trip departure.

Applying for a Passport

Below are several things you will need to do to apply for a passport:

● Those applying for a passport for the first time must do so in person.

● Adults applying for the first time, children under 16, and applicants between the ages of 16 and 17 must fill out the DS-11 form.

● Collect and provide supporting documents including citizenship evidence, and identification. Provide the original copy, as well as a black and white photocopy of the front and back of the identification you are bringing on 8.5” by 11” standard paper. Please note, If you are applying for a passport for a child under the age of 16, you must provide proof of your relationship to the child.

● Provide a 2” by 2” color passport photo taken within the last six months before applying for a passport.

● Calculate the application fee.

Renewing Your Passport

If you still have your current passport, you may renew it by mail as long as it is undamaged, was issued to you when you were 16 or older, and was issued within the last 15 years. Below are a few things you will need to do to renew your passport:
● Fill out the DS-82 form if you can renew your passport by mail. If not, you must fill out the DS-11 form.
● Submit your most recent US passport along with an updated passport photo.

● If you need your name changed on your updated passport, you must include a certified copy of the legal name change document. This can include a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court-ordered name change document.

● Calculate passport renewal fee.

Protecting Your Passport

During your trip, we recommend that you take several steps to ensure the safety of your passport:

● Carry your passport on you while traveling through airports, and between different destinations. Do not put it in your checked luggage.

● Make a photocopy of your passport and keep it in a separate concealed place in your luggage.

● Use a passport cover to keep your passport concealed at all times.

● All travelers should carry their own passports. If you are carrying multiple passports, try not to keep all of them in one place to minimize the impact of a single theft.

● Try to carry your passport in the same place to avoid losing track of your document.

● When in private, check regularly to make sure that you are still carrying your passport.

If you live outside of the United States and Canada, you may require further documentation for traveling such as a visa. Check with the nearest embassy of the country you are traveling to in order to determine whether or not this applies to you.

Happy National Travel Advisor's Week!

The first Travel Agency of the world was established by Thomas Cook in 1845 in England. The use of the term travel trade dates back from the early years of the 19th century, but this should not obscure the fact that what we today describe as travel trade (travel agency and tour operation business) was taking place much earlier in history.

Throughout history, there was travel middleman who helped the merchants traveling for trade and others who traveled for religious purposes.

In 1841 a fortunate day comes in the history of travel trade when Thomas Cook, as secretary of South Midland Temperance Association, organized a trip by a train for 570 members for his association to the distance of 22 miles. He bought railway tickets in bulk to sell them to people.

The experiment was successful and everybody was exultant. Mr. Cook had done his job on a no-profit basis. But, incidentally, It gave him a new idea and turned it into a tour business.

Four years later in 1845, he set up a ‘World’s First Travel Agency‘ to organize excursions. Due to this innovative approach, Mr. Thomas Cook is known as the Father of Travel Agency Business. He co-ordinated railway and steamship excursions throughout England, Scotland and Europe.

However, the railways only gave him a 5% commission which was not enough to meet his overheads, so he decided to diversify this business into tour operation.

In 1855 Mr. Cook started operating package tours. He conducted the world’s first international tour from England to Paris.
