— Two tickets to paradise—

@ Stoushnow making
vacation dreams come true
for Castlegar travellers

Jonathan Green
NEWS REPORTER

Give Vi Stoushnow 4 call and
she'll tell you where to go.

Stoushnow is the manager of
West’s Travel Agency, something
she has done since 1987. Prior to
that, she was a travel agent for 31
years.

In a business where money
plays a significant role,
says that foreign’currency can dic-
tate who goes where.

“It makes a difference,” she
said, adding that the relative
weakness of the Mexican peso
boosted travel to Mexico in recent

years.
Stoushnow says that the travel
business is changing constantly,
and one of the major changes to
happen is automation.
Until 1989, travel agents at

Harcourt

promotes

province
first

West’s would work manually when
booking tickets for clients, a time-
consuming process.

Now, through the use of com-
puters, tickets can be processed
and printed out in a matter of min-
utes.

Stoushnow says that some trav-
elers have a misnomer about trav-
el agencies, that it’s cheaper to
book a major plane trip through an
airline.

She says that booking plane
tickets, hotels, car rentals and
more are all part of an agent’s job.

“It’s really advantageous to talk
to a travel agent,” she said, “You
can have the entire holiday pack-
age tied togethér, and we don’t
charge for our service.”

As well, Stoushnow says that
travelers believe that to fly in and
out of Spokane requires an Amer-
ican agent.

“It’s not true,” she said, adding
that West’s can take care of the
bookings, all without the GST.

At this time last year, the Gulf

War was reality and fears of ter-
rorism prevented a lot of people
from travelling.

ow said that these fears
were felt as far away as Castlegar.

“People postponed vacations,”
she said, “They were reluctant to
goto Europe.”

With the war now a memory,
airlines now have another prob-
lem to confront: the economy.

Stoushnow says the effects of
the economy can be felt here in the
Kootenays.

“Westar is a perfect example,”
she said, “So is Cominco.”

“People are cutting back.”

The major carriers recognize
their airplanes are half-empty, so
to fill those planes seat-sales are
put together.

“There’s only so many seats sold
on an aircraft at the lower price,”
Stoushnow said, “People wait for
it.”

And with the coveted traveller
dollar to compete for, Stoushnow
said the major carriers are making

Agency.

more and more concessions.

“The airlines are bending
rules,” she said, “They’re trying to
fill up their planes, so they're being
a little more flexible.”

“They didn’t use to do that.”

Travel agencies are regulated
by the International Air Transport
Association, but Stoushnow says
it doesn’t automatically allow
them to arrange travel with every
carrier.

“Each carrier has to authorize
us to sell their airline,” she said.

And with airlines flying world-
wide, Stoushnow says the travel
agent should know something
about where the client wants to go.

“The more experience the trav-
el agent has in travelling, the more
oy can offer to their client,” she

ae if you’re looking for someone
to tell you where to go, try West’s
Travel Agency.
She would be more than happy
to help.
