Cape Girardeau, MO (Sept 23, 2015) -- To better assist the growing market segment of group travelers, Shari Elfrink & Susan Berghoff of 1st Class Travel, a Member of the Results! Travel network, engaged in an intensive "boot camp" and other educational workshops at the organization's biggest conference of the year. At the 2015 Results! Travel National Meeting, which took place September 19-21, at Bally's Las Vegas, Elfrink & Berghoff had the exclusive opportunity to learn from travel industry experts about how to create the best value and experiences for consumers and businesses interested in group travel.

"Travelers have a growing interest in group travel, which is an excellent way to vacation because of additional savings that can be utilized on hotels, airfares and excursions. There are even opportunities for exclusive behind-the-scenes tours or after-hours access that are just not available to many individual travelers," said Shari Elfrink, President at Cape Girardeau's 1st Class Travel, located on William St.

"Many consumers aren't aware of the many advantages offered by traveling with a group, not to mention just how much fun it can be. By engaging the consultation services that we provide, they can enjoy the greatest value," added Elfrink. "We provide them the full range of options, whether they're booking a trip for themselves or as part of an association."

"Even if clients will not be traveling in a large group, I can still arrange itineraries that will allow them to benefit from group rates while traveling alone, as a couple or as one family unit," said Elfrink. "For example, as a part of my affiliation with Results! Travel, I offer special cruise options that my clients simply can't get if they were to book on their own. Each of these cruise vacations includes a private VIP cocktail reception, an exclusive shore event, and even personal onboard concierge services on many itineraries. These are upgrades available at no extra charge to my clients simply because of my affiliation with the Results! Travel network. Again, these are the kinds of discounts and experiences one will not discover on their own, plus they have the advantages of having a travel agent professional as their consultant and advocate."

Elfrink & Berghoff also took advantage of numerous professional development opportunities at the 2015 Results! Travel National Meeting that will allow them to continue providing travelers with the highest level of customer service and expertise.
