My TOR allows agencies to define their own sales policies and offer a completely personalised version of TOR SystemŽ to their customers, marked with their own company logo. Clients experience the feel of personal on-line browsing and booking, but agencies can establish their own sales margins and determine how to charge for reservations made by customers including a secure credit card payment feature.

WEATHER WOES FOR TRAVELLERS
Tropical storm Tammy forms off Florida's east coast as Mexico's Gulf coast and Central America begin to recover from Hurricane Stan. Stan came ashore along a sparsely populated stretch of coastline south of Veracruz, a major port about 300 kilometres east of Mexico City, also causing heavy rain, flooding and landslides in the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. Costa Rica, and other areas of Central America were also seriously affected. Meanwhile, tropical storm Tammy is expected to bring heavy rain to northern Florida and parts of Georgia and the Carolinas later today. A tropical storm warning was issued from Cocoa Beach north to Santee River,
S.C., meaning tropical storm conditions are expected in those areas within
the next 24 hours. |
