"Second Act" Career Success with Expedia CruiseShipCenters

Amid economic social changes, baby boomers have had the largest increase in entrepreneurial activity over the last decade, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes entrepreneurship. This trend has continued in spite of the tepid economic recovery. 

Local business owner of the baby boomer generation, Vince Bonfanti, was a software developer for 28 years, starting his own software compnay in 1997. Since then, Vince decided to return to his passion of cruising for a "Second Act" career by becoming an entrepreneur of Expedia CruiseShipCenters in Alpharetta, GA. 

As a software guru himself, Vince was attracted to the company's industry-leading technology, CruiseDesk, which allows travel consultants to book all the details of a dream vacation with one click of a button.

Vince has been an avid cruiser for more than 20 years and thoroughly understands the needs and demands of consumers interested in travel. Having lived in the Alpharetta community for 25 years, Vince is dedicated to helping families book their vacation getaways. Additionally, Vince frequently partners with local high schools for fundraising events to best bring the community together.

Some people might think that the need for the travel agent is dying, but this is simply not true. In 2012, 17.2 million North American passengers took a cruise. That number is expected to grow to 17.6 in 2013, according to the Cruise Lines Industry Association. With the increase comes a demand for specialists who can help passengers book their exotic getaway. Booking cruises online can be quite overwhelming when there are so many options available.
