115TRAVEL  began business under the ownership of Barbara Ballard-Garner, an independent travel professional specializing in Group Travel, Cruises, All-inclusive Travel, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons.  115TRAVEL is a full service travel agency affiliated with Travel Planners International, a leader in the travel industry utilizing the latest technology to get the most competitive prices.            

                Barbara offers a unique level of service often not available through internet agencies.  The internet is a valuable resource, but it cannot replace the expertise, guidance and personal service that Barbara provides.  She provides personal service and works closely with her clients from the beginning stages of vacation planning through to the very end, even after they’ve returned from their travels.  She assists with much more than just finding the best price.  Personalized services include travel recommendations, personal itinerary planning and customer advocacy.  In fact, she prefers that you think of her as your travel consultant, not agent.

                “My services don’t end with the final payment.  I handle every detail of my clients’ vacation until it has been successfully completed.  I call in advance of arrivals to confirm that the resort or cruise line can meet any special requests or upgrades.   I pride myself on Creating Memories, One Vacation at a Time.”

                Barbara is a highly qualified travel consultant who has gained her knowledge through a combination of formal industry training, certifications, site visits and her own extensive travel.   She holds certifications with the following organizations:  Accredited Travel Agent with The International Air Transport Association (IATA); Certified Travel Associate (CTA) with the Travel Institute; Master Cruise Counselor (MCC) with The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA); Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Specialist; American Airlines Vacations Specialist; Sandals/Beaches Resorts Certified Agent and several cruise line certifications.  She continues to add to her training and certifications by participating in courses, conferences, seminars and site visits.
