Travel Advisors of Northwest Arkansas - TANWA

Calling all Podcast Hipsters! Here is a great one from my new friend Bart Berkey. I recently had the pleasure to meet Bart at a Kindness Conference. Bart created a "cheat sheet" based on our theme, and I have them taped to my computer so I see them all day. I made a copy and keep it in my purse so it's top of mind.
Happy Friday Friends!

As per usual, we forgot to get a group photo last night, so we’ll share a few pics from a member’s recent stay at Sandals South Coast in Jamaica.

Thank you for coming to Northwest Arkansas, Anissa Underwood BDM for Sandals. We had about 30 local travel advisors join us to learn more about Sandals and Beaches resorts! We were told that construction started this week to convert the adult only Sandals Emerald Bay in The Bahamas to another family friendly Beaches Resort, making four total for that brand.

Did you know that Sandals is very protective of its pricing? Any price or special amenity you can get from them directly is also available through your local travel advisor. Then that commission stays local, supporting a local travel agent mom who supports a local dance studio for her kid, whose owner supports a local takeout restaurant on her way home from a late rehearsal.

When you’re ready to book your next vacation, reach out to one of the TANWA travel advisors! Our website is under construction, but for now you can find pictures of our business cards in the photo album here titled Member Directory.

We look forward to helping you plan your next vacation!!

The goal is to allow foster kids to move their belongings respectfully in suitcases, instead of bags as they move in and out of the system.

Thank you to all of the local businesses who are partnering with us to provide luggage for the kids at the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter. You still have two more days to drop new and like new luggage at one of the listed locations, or to order from our Amazon wish list if you want.
