# 1 Certified Adventure Travel Specialist
Recognized in the
Seattle,
WA
Sammamish,
WA, Nov. 12, 2007 - The Travel Institute is proud to present
Pascale LeJeune “EXPERIENCE Active Travel”, a Brownell and Virtuoso Agency, and Sammamish resident with the official designation of Certified Adventure Travel Specialist, a network travel agent whose business model focuses on soft adventure.
“The 21st century travel consultant specializes,” says
Helen Nodland, founder of Nodland Travel Enterprises and author of the Adventure Travel Specialist and Lifestyle Specialist series. “As a niche adventure travel specialist, Pascale is ahead of the game. Baby boomers’ who have much interest in adventurous, multi generational travel, and soft family adventure, now have a
Seattle certified agent that has proven to provide the ultimate service and add immense value to her clients travel arrangements.”
Pascale LeJeune, ATS, further attended the recent Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) World Summit in Whistler,
Canada, during which she fosters each year relationships and partnerships with the best of the best in the Adventure Travel industry.
Shannon Stowell, president of ATTA, recognizes that professional travel consultants, who attend this very niche congregation, are the best in the travel industry.
“The
Summit offers an excellent context for learning more about adventure specialization,” said Pascale. “The full tapestries of this industry’s real influencers are present, and, to be successful, one must fully understand the niche, know who you’re working with, talk with the experts about marketing issues, get to know who the customer is, and learn from the ATTA Summit sessions about what’s in store for the future of adventure travel.
Pascale focuses on soft family adventure since she has a family of her own and fully embraces the outdoors in and around Sammamish. She understands the challenges and security issues families deal with while take their children on US and overseas active family vacations. “I encourage parents whose children can swim and bike on their own to introduce them to more physical holidays such as walking, hiking, or even biking tours designed with families in mind. A more active lifestyle helps combat obesity in both children and adults. It also strengthens our interest in our community parks and forests, caring and protecting our environment and ultimately enjoyment of the splendor of the great outdoors.”
Biking adventure tours through the back roads of the
French
Loire
Valley for example are specifically developed to suit kids’ abilities and attention spans— with longer options for adults. Everything is taken care of for you so that you can give yourself the permission to experience the destination, and not worry about the details. With the Euro being so high, other options are Mexico (biking, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking along the Baja Peninsula during Spring Break) Asia (biking along Chinese villages and hiking on the Great Wall), New Zealand (biking, hiking, rafting on the north island). If you look to experience a unique African safari, consider going to
Kenya, meet the Masaai and discover the fragile balance between man and the wild while meeting orphaned elephant babies, endangered giraffes, or even a black rhino who will welcome you right out of your well appointed tented camp.
