How To Search for Suppliers
If you go to the members page and click on "Advanced Search" you will see the questions that are presented.

1. "What is Your Name?" If you know the name of the individual you are looking for, simply enter it and hit "Search".

Completing Your Profile
While you can stick all kinds of information into your profile, most agents do not want to risk being solicited by every supplier member in the community. For this reason, the only information a supplier can see on your profile is your name and agency name. That's it! Your e-mail addresses is hidden from everyone and is only used to verify that you are a member of the www.TravelProfessionalCommunity.com community. If you are not a member, you should join now! It is also a free site for travel professionals.
