the seattle travel show joins forces with the seattle gulf show to become the two thousand and twelve seattle gulf and travel show doing cody i'm loving today we're having a great time here so how do you like the combination golf and travel show well it's been interesting it's brought on a different client that we wouldn't usually see but we're also seeing a lot of the people that you know traditionally come to the travel show as well so it's it's new it's new for us but it's working pretty well it looks like the bigger numbers of people to it seems that way it seems that way and you know all three days have been pretty much a day a lot of version it isn't it's tons of fun times of fun we we take you all the way up to leavenworth give you time to look around we decorate the trainer we have entertainment on board it is a family pleaser as well as groups and trip and i guess one of those i swear i suggest for somebody that wants to do a something special for somebody would be nice little gift for somebody it is a phenomenal guest and we have a lot of people that will do that will surprise somebody and you know also like they say we have a lot of families oftentimes will get with say a mother or father that will invite a whole family on board and the family doesn't know where they're going to like day we have our core customer too that loves to do things just here in seattle but you know that's one of the great things about al haj tours is we have everything from one day tourist that will take you around the world i just went to dubai i'm in my life yeah so this is so what are we looking at here this is actually our demos own our t v line that we have all of the major a new fashions have ten of them here represented to help the consumers i interact with all the newest equipment i just came out parser so loud speaker car on so my understanding because i've never been to golf or say or really i've never covered the golf show before but because it's part of you know in combination with the travel show it is showing both said and i understand though that they can try out a variety of different clubs here absolutely now this is something that that cuts off sponsors the retailer to manufacture search are interacting with the consumers best they can but from the retail transaction aspect the special  follow up the warranties all of that stuff will obviously host out and interact as you would the consumer with that once they make the purchase here to punch golf this is actually kind of an extension of our four stores we do have the clearance area over there with a bunch of good deals and so forth but anyway it's something that we've done the last few years and had great success with getting the consumers with a product or a line so this this is something where people can not only buy ou retailer that i can think of on a national level i've yet to meet anybody that has a continuous off course golf retail operation is going to vote been out there for more than sixty seven  that people are going to come back but we feel we do wind up course the testament is that the continued success we have so why do you have the commitment that we have to feeding people in the right golf equipment i give them that we feel the best service that we possibly can  but fortunately in israel things have been very calm the last few years as a matter of fact the last two years have been record years for israel tourism has had millions of people visit every year and they all come back home safe and sound and it's actually one of the safest countries in israel and show for quite some time are you doing carl and it's i'm good sir i'm very good i'm doing well and that's good and this is your thirtieth or thirty first year of doing the travels well by me it's the tenth year for me but for michael rowland the choice would be the thirty first and but now you're doing a combination show this year that's a joint here with the ball show at the here we're joined at the hip and how do you  but i know that you're also busy but i was going to try and talk to the tourism folks for a moment as it's been a while since i've talked to you is sort of a male centric then you're kind of stand out a little bit well we're trying to i'm courage women come out to play more golf for fun and for networking opportunities so there are a lot of them out on the golf course a lot of this is on the golf course and i think it's about time to get the opportunity to do that and so this being a chapter you actually  older we don't really have a meeting place we have organized events that occur we have for example we have mindful week afterwards monday through thursday at different courses throughout the seattle area we also a weekend event to take place all over the area we have a board of about twelve members that meet monthly to take care of all the fitness of any ga  and we also have a national organization for about twenty thousand members strong throughout the united states and different states like golfing years are coming more and more popular with women yes it's becoming very popular demand i think it's all for starting to notice that especially the by buying power that women have and so forth you know  so as i walked around one of the places i've been before and i met again the filipino right and deb is not here this year and
