Service, Value and a Fabulous Experience
Jordanian American Finds Recipe for Success
California born, Mona Naffa, joins Sandy to celebrate travel inside Jordan, where her roots run deep. Mona's father is a prestigious professor in both the US and Jordan, and Mona's Mother, was Miss Jordan in the 1960's.
Now as an entrepreneur and founder of STI-Jordan, Mona is offering a full service tour operation, based in Amman. As the Expedia partner for all things Jordan, Mona is the answer for all Jordan products and services offered by Expedia. Her mantra of service, value and providing a fabulous experience are her companies cornerstone. Perhaps at the heart of her business is her true understanding of what her American clientele wants. This week Mona brings us a special look at museums in Amman and introduces us to Raja Gargour, The Director of the Royal Automobile Museum
Raja Gargour Director of the Royal Automobile Museum
Calling All Car Lovers
Raja Gargour, Director of the Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, joins Sandy to talk about this world class collection of cars. As a reference to conference travel to Jordan. Raja tell us that the Directors of Automobile Museums from around the world, will be coming to Jordan for their annual meeting. Why not consider taking your next meeting to Jordan.
Meet Sam Nhairy, or if you are like most people, you already know Sam.
Sandy likes to tell the story of being in Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech with Sam and at all three places, they literally ran into people on the street that knew Sam from his work, family and even an old school mate stopped them while walking the streets of Marrakech.
If you are thinking of doing a conference, or if you sell travel to Morocco, consider coming to Morocco with Sam in Dec for his FAM trip. At the very least, take a listen and then call him and discuss your needs and find out if this trip has your name on it!.

Segment 1
Thank you for joining us today on BusinessTravelRADIO. Great to be back after I wrestled a flew bug and finally won. Our first segment includes birthday wishes to our TravelTalkRADIO programming as we start our 10th year of broadcasting this week. What an amazing journey it has been and we look forward to the next decade of bringing you the best and the brightest from around the world.
Segments 2 - 4 Transplanted American Becomes One of Australian's Lead Trainers on Travel Safety and Managing Hostile Environments for international media and government organizations.
Meet Shuan Filer, a former Hospital Corpsman (Medic) in the US military. We will discuss Dynamiq and the work Shaun has completed with commercial, government and non-government organisations in over thirty countries, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Algeria, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar and Papua New Guinea.
Shauns Masters Thesis was entitled Learning to Survive the Worlds Difficult, Remote and Hostile Environments What can be considered adequate preparation and support for travelers. http://www.dynamiq.com.au/website/home.html
Jesse Heilman #1 Rated Pro Surfer (Short Board) Spokesperson for
Able Planet
Segments 5 - 6
Able Planet Teams up with Pro Surfer to Spread Good Tunes and Healthy Hearing Habits.
Can You Hear Me Now? We laugh at this popular mantra from a cellular company, but this might be a question we start asking ourselves sooner, rather than later. The latest health information tells us there is worldwide hearing abuse. No one seems to care, at least not until Able Planet started taking an active roll in supporting hearing preservation and deaf school programs.
Road Warrior and #1 Pro Surfer talks about his incredible travel to the best beaches in the world and why he feels responsible to spread the word about hearing preservation, with the help of his new sponsor Able Planet.
Able Planet hopes to capture the hearts and the ears of the young with the new Jesse Heilman signature series headsets that will be on the market late in 2010. The headset will also be entered at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. Their 'sick' designs, high tech, and safe head sets, include a broad line of products with proprietary noise cancellation features.
Jesse Heilman's icon status in the extreme sports world is an important market for Able Planet. Able Planet is also looking for a little help from up-coming star, Ashley Fiolek: a deaf motocross racer, who is also sponsored
by Able Planet.
Jesse's signature series will also benefit Schools for the Deaf with 10% of profits from online sales going to supply audiology devices for schools for deaf nationwide.
TravelTalkMEDIA has been headsets by Able Planet products for the past 6 years.
