Some suppliers aruba all inclusive vacation packages will say they support these companies because they can t separate the consumers from the serious agents.

I would be interested aruba all inclusive vacation packages to see the 2008 sales figures for CCL and RCCL and looking at percentages to see if CCL s numbers increased MORE than RCCL. If so, then it indicates that perhaps the MLMs are bringing something to the table. If not, I suspect that it shows that the MLMs are selling to themselves and most likely they woudl have traveled in any case. CCL is just tossing away 16%.
You forgot to mention Extraordinary Vacations Group (Trip Professionals, Cruiseshoppes)These are the biggest scammers of all. 100 s of agents have lost their commissions to this company because they are broke. They also sell travel agent cards to anyone that can afford their price.
You mention that Vayama.com allows others to be travel agents and make commissions. Actually, they allow anyone with a website to post FREE links to their site and earn commissions. Every legit corporate giant does this nowadays, and it is called an affiliate program, aruba all inclusive vacation packages which is pay-per-sale advertising. It is FREE to post Vayama s links on your website, and it is not a scam or illegal. Travelocity, Orbitz, aruba all inclusive vacation packages ect. all do the exact same thing, and I don t see anything wrong with that. Are you going to add them to your list? Sure, these websites take away from the small home-based travel agent. But, Travelocity is a travel agency and it is not illegal for them to promote their site.
Also, non-travel corporations such as Dell, HP, Apple, Staples Sears all have affiliate programs. It is just a way to promote their websites. Many of these affiliate programs are administered through cj.com.
That being said, I appreciate your bringing aruba all inclusive vacation packages light to the pleathora of real travel scams out there, such as YTB. I recently was contacted by someone about Rovia.com/worldventures. I find these programs completely ridiculous!
