Connecticut Amusement Parks

Connecticut Amusement parks can offer entertainment for all ages. There are two nice theme parks situated in Connecticut, along with a few waterparks.

• Lake Compounce, located in Bristol, Connecticut, is the oldest ongoing amusement park in the United States. It open in 1846 as a picnic grove. It is a traditional amusement park that is home to Boulder Dash, a wooden roller coaster.http://themeparks.about.com/cs/kennywoodparks/a/blcompounce.htm

• Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury is also traditional style park with some water attractions.http://www.visitconnecticut.com/current_category.2419/companies_list.html

• Ocean Beach Park in New London, is a small scale waterpark focused on children 8 and under. http://www.ocean-beach-park.com/

Water and theme park fees, along with travel expense can cost a bit of pocket change. The smaller parks can sometimes be less expensive than the largely known amusement parks. There are many money saving ideas for theme parks:

1. Buy tickets in advance online or at a participating retailer. Many times these are offered at a discount compared to tickets bought at the gate.
2. Check with discount travel clubs, such as AAA for money saving offers.
3. Shop around at places like retailmenot.com for coupons and special promotions
4. For money saving tips and coupon information, be sure to visit the Mahalo page ‘Amusement Park Coupons’.

How To Become a Travel Agent Connecticut

LICENSING: To sell travel as a travel agent in Connecticut, you do not need a license. There is no state administered test you have to pass like there is in real estate and insurance. Some states do require you to join a travel seller's registration program. You pay a fee after which you are recognized by suppliers as a legitimate entity. Since laws are always changing, it's best to check with the state office of the Attorney General or Department of Commerce on licensing requirements. http://www.careeroverview.com/travel-agent-careers.html http://www.homebasedtravelagent.com/FAQ.htm

BENEFITS: As a Connecticut travel agent you get to enjoy discount travel and see a lot of the world. It is considered part of the job to travel. Your employer might send you to go to a vacation resort so that you can experience it firsthand. Once you get back, you will be able to sell the resort more effectively and confidently because you are speaking from your own experience. After a minimum of 6 months your employer will add you to the IATAN list of employees allowed to travel at discounts. IATAN will issue you a travel ID card that will give you discounts up to 80 percent on air fares, cruises, hotels, car rentals and more. Upon termination of employment, you will have to turn in your ID card. http://www.travelagenttrainingcenter.com/Travel%20Industry%20Benefits.htm
