you are the most efficient and dynamic person in the media industry. You
are unforgettable.
"Sunday is quickly becoming my biggest "radio listening"
day (if I get up early enough). From 7am to 9am I've
been listening to my good friend, writer Dave Marsh on
his Sirius Show and then at 9 I listen to you talk about
all the places I can't afford to go -- because I work in
radio!!!!"

your travel talk radio program. The live broadcast and Internet archives
presented me with a unique format to reach a worldwide audience and tell
the listeners about Tanzania's diverse tourism product, our cultural
heritage programs and the steps that we are taking to protect the
environment. I was also pleased to be able to remind listeners from all

is a
wonderful use of the traditional medium of radio, combined with the
Internet, with both being used to effectively inform the public about
the treasure chest of travel opportunities represented by tours and
packages. " What fun! Sandy was a great
host. She not only got things rolling with good questions, she had also
done her homework so that the interview was extremely relevant.
It was a
great pleasure to be on the show Sunday June 6th. Sandy made me feel at
ease immediately and I was truly impressed with her level of preparation
for the show. Her knowledge of Touring Club of Italy programs and
familiarity with our books was evident throughout the interview. The
show made for a great introduction of Touring Club publications to our
US audience and Sandy's enthusiasm was a real boost to our membership
program as well."
It's
always a pleasurable experience to be guests on Travel Talk Radio! The
first time we heard Sandy, it was like listening-in on casual a
conversation between good friends and neighbors. It's great to have a

"The
"Sail with Sandy" cruise was a wonderful time!!. The company and food
were exceptionally good and I can't remember when I last laughed so
hard - must have had something to do with our terrific hosts, Sandy
Dhuyvetter and her fun sidekick, Patrick. The day trip to the wine
country north of Ensenada was one particular highlight of the trip. The
countryside was beautiful, the wine delicious and affordable. We were
also fortunate to enjoy a delicious authentic Mexican meal as part of
our excursion, at the lovely San Nicolas Hotel in Ensenada. Thanks for a
great time!!!!"
"Thank you Sandy and Travel Talk Radio for
letting me enjoy a great experience at Sea, in Ensenada and again on

Traveltalkradio. You have a great concept and provide valuable
information to the traveling consumer and travel/tourism community.
Sandy is an excellent host!" I was

medical tips and insurance was critical to get this message out. Thank
you Sandy for helping get the word out and sharing the Credo of the
Peaceful Traveler of the International Institute for Peace through
Tourism. "What

Canada (I'm Canadian living in England) to link up." "I've
had the pleasure of being a guest on Travel Talk Radio
several
times. Each show is filled with laughs, great travel information
and
interesting topics. Being a freelance travel writer, Sandy's show gives

industry. San Diego is lucky to have such a hard working, knowledgeable
person as
Sandy
educating listeners as to what is happening in the world of
travel."

you very much, Sandy, for the opportunity to talk about the Festival

Lakeside wanting a Festival brochure. WOW!"

with show-time coming down to the wire, your whole team was so friendly
and professional, creating an atmosphere that was comfortable and
effortless. It was truly a joy chatting with you, Sandy. Your enthusiasm
for travel was truly infectious. Thanks again for your support and
interest with spreading the word about the historic Railway's journey to

course we know each other so little but I am struck by your zest for
life and how quickly you reach out to each new person that you come

of travel options speaks to your understanding of the value and
importance of cross-cultural experiences." "Don

so very much. I am so happy that you chose

faith in doing interviews--what a difference from previous experiences!

felt extremely comfortable with you in your modern and professional
set-up and I must say that I found your broadcast concept truly superb.

is great!! Your efforts really show, content and production is

Dhuyvetter has gone well beyond the "call of duty" to educate listeners
on the incredible opportunities available for those ready to truly
enhance their respective travel activities. Her passion for serving up a
menu of options with the appetizer of her enthusiasm and that of her
guests makes the program a most worthwhile listen on those early Sunday
mornings. VolunTours salutes Sandy for her vision and breadth of
coverage of issues and ideas that lead to a "soul-full" travel

really want to expand their horizons. Sandy and TravelTalkRadio are
making every effort to deliver these means to a more inspirational form
of travel."

sharing insight about the group travel marketplace. We've already seen a
response from your listeners with new subscriptions coming in. Thanks
again! " "Thank
you, Sandy, for the opportunity to chat with you on Travel Talk Radio
last week. It was a lot of fun to discuss our sacred travel programs
with you and your listeners. What a great wealth of information you give
travelers during your broadcasts ! I know from the daily requests for
tour information that we get, that in these challenging times people are
looking for information sources on travel that they can trust. What you
offer through Travel Talk Radio is extremely helpful, as you cover many
(if not all!) aspects of a person's trip. There is useful information
for people who are just beginning to travel...as well as for the
seasoned globe-trotters. Thanks for being here for all of us. AND, by
the way, your "Traveler's Credo for Peace" that you have posted on your
website contains many of the suggestions that we include in our "Travel
Tips and Hints" for our sacred tour group members. In leading our tours,
I've found that when people can hold those thoughts in their minds and
hearts on a daily basis, their travel experiences are enriched
immeasurably...as are the lives of all those they come in contact !
Thanks for the reminders !"
"Thank
you for the opportunity to speak directly to thousands of travel
industry professionals. We are at a critical time in the travel
marketing and distribution business and the more knowledge travel
professionals acquire the more successful their business will be.
Travel Talk Radio is a great medium to get out the message to thousands
in the Travel Industry. Thank you for the great opportunity!"
"Travel Talk Radio is an amazing resource for all sectors of the travel
industry, not only in terms of the radio show itself, but also the
website as well as Sandy. Sandy's enthusiasm for travel issues and
solutions to those issues is a much needed contribution in a time when
consumers and travel suppliers face uncertain times. I also enjoy the
eclectic approach Travel Talk Radio encompasses in acting as an
information source for travel companies. This approach reflects
EyeforTravel's in that we create an environment were all sections of the
travel Industry can pow-wow to create deals, gather resources, and
create alliances. This approach has always proved a success for us and
it does for Travel Talk Radio as well. We at Eye for Travel appreciate
and applaud the ongoing communication between us and Travel Talk Radio
on our upcoming events around the world, and will continue to support

would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak on Travel Talk
Radio. It is individual like you that make it easy for me to get a
message to the people who are most in need. I would like to thank you on
behalf of the San Diego AIDS Memorial Project and as a member of the San
Diego County HIV Prevention Board. By having me on your show we were
able to get a very important message out to thousand of your listeners.
That message was/is "Get tested, the HIV crisis is far from over and
infection numbers are dramatically increasing in women, Latinos, African
American, youth, and seniors. In addition, I would like to thank you for
helping get the word out about the Halloween Mexican Riviera fundraising
cruise for the SD AIDS Memorial Project. The memorial will be a monument
to education and reflection shedding light on this very devastating
pandemic. Over 22 million worldwide have died from AIDS and over 33
million worldwide are currently living with a killer to small to see. My
hat is off to you. It is people like you that make the difference. " "Over

"Building of a Culture of Peace through Tourism" through your program
has been most valuable and is very much appreciated. Your stimulating
questions and comments provided a high level of energy in our discussion
of "Peace through Tourism" in a way that was directly relevant to your
audience. We particularly appreciate your promoting the IIPT Credo of
the Peaceful Traveler on your website and your kind introduction to
Paula Savage, of the Peace Gardens Foundation - an earlier guest, was
very considerate of you. We have since had several exchanges of emails
and telephone discussions, and I anticipate that we will be
collaborating in our efforts in the near future". "Very
much enjoyed being (taped) on your show and look forward to hearing it
on Sunday. You make a guest feel very comfortable. The team here

regular listener and look forward to participating in your program long
into the future. Keep up the good work, Sandy"! "I
