I uderstand it perfectly... as it says " you must have the travel agents code of conduct signature if you want to reply to the thread"
so to me that means if you dont have the code of conduct signature you shouldn't email if your a travel agent!!
If I am reading the above statment wrong then please let me know where I am reading this wrong?I am a Travel Agent

I am sorry i only read the info from martin on the main holiday section which says if you want to.
Anyway lets all get on and make some money.
You will find that most people post on MSE to help others find the best deal, and not with the motivation to make some money. You might find that this puts people off using your services.Gone ... or have I?0 -

If the person is not worried about price they would give the booking to the person who found it, having spent 15yrs finding the perfect holiday for customers for them to go somewhere else and book the same holiday i have spent 2hrs findning is just heart breaking however on here people have done there searching there ready to book and if i can beat it i will and there happy and i am more than happy to take less priofit as it takes me 10 minutes and not few hours.
Hope this clears my thoughts up.
It might if you used some punctuation!Gone ... or have I?0 -
I think we should end this conversation as this section is for people wanting to beat the holiday quotes not arguments between MSE members
