I  have been in the Travel business for the past eight years, I own Avanti Travel in the UK and  specialise in renting privately owned Florida Villas. I have many contacts and friends based in the Orlando area who I would like to thank for helping me along the way. Twelve months ago I joined the CFPMA  to set up a new division to the business in property management with a view to eventually moving to Florida.

The Travel industry here in the UK has seen so many changes these past few years, the most significant being the soaring cost of flights, more so at school holiday times when flights are costing over £800, a major problem that is affecting the villa rental business.

Plus the growing number of so call 'wholesale' rental companies offering homes at stupid rates as low as £199 with allocation on arrival, such rates are of no use at all to home owners, who are to blame in the long run for accepting such low payments, that is if they get anything at all from unscrupulous agents.

Well that is the down side, let us all hope that the future will get better for all concerned.
