I joined and I think you are awesome. Two days after joining I received a fabulous Africa map. You are wonderful. I am excited about being part of your wonderful organization.
I have been telling everyone about you. A friend called me to let me know she had found a great source of information about Africa and she was considering joining. I told her I sent it to her!!!!

“Travel to Africa is a life-changing experience! It is expansive and has so much diversity that a travel agent cannot possibly learn all they need to know in their travel agent classes. Organizations such as the IAFTTA play a vital role in training travel agents – helping them to discover the many varied experience and cultures Africa provides. Kathy is a natural leader. She is not only a highly skilled travel professional, but has an extensive knowledge of Africa.”
–Georgia Shoemaker

 

“It was at the 2005 National Forum of APTA (Association for the Promotion of Tourism to Africa) where I first met Kathy Moroney. She had been sent by the newly formed Sacramento Chapter of APTA, as its first president and one of its organizers. I have known Kathy through these past years to be just that – an organizer. To task her with even the smallest job is to receive it well and thoroughly done. But it is the energy and enthusiasm that Kathy brings to any endeavor that distinguishes her from others. I wish to attest to her integrity which is of the highest value. Were I to wish to hire an employee, Kathy Moroney would be my first choice.”
–Suzanne Bigelow

 

Kathy is truly passionate about travel to Africa and the promotion of tourism to the African continent.We have worked together in arranging group travel services in Africa, done joint marketing, and traveled together on a familiarization trip in Africa.

She has traveled extensively throughout Africa, with clients, with other travel professionals and as a solo traveler.

Kathy Moroney is a knowledgeable and well-traveled expert on Africa.  She has a passion for educating others and sharing her knowledge. Her long involvement in the travel agent world has included founding the APTA Sacramento chapter and contributing as its President for 7 years.

I really enjoyed the seminar and received so much valuable information. I really appreciate the resources that you have provided in your email. Sometimes, I feel that the needs of the disabled are not addressed and I see the challenges when traveling with my husband.

I am definitely going to be an IAFTTA member.

Once again, thank you very much.
