I just finished to implement the JA_Antares in my travel agency portal.
The content is in spanish, because is targeted to spanish speaking people, mostly from Mexico, Central and Southamerica.
You can see it here: http://www.travelisimo.com

Hope you like it and obviously I accept constructive criticism.

By the way, I’ll be posting in the Request and wishlist forum, a template only for travel agencies, I know some of our fellow members who are travel agents, will appreciate the effort.

If the moderators or the administrator wish to contact me, in order to tell them what we need to have in the template, please contact me, via PM or email.

Thanks

Not sure why you would want another template when you have done such an excellent job with your customization from the JA Antares site for your travel site. (Did you ever submit your site for the Site of the Month contest? If not, you should).

VERY NICE WORK !!!

Thanks Tom for your kindly and rewarding comments, but after spending almost 2 weeks, customizing the template, it would be nice to have a “set and go–>out of the box” template.
How or where can I nominate my site to the contest?

Thanks again

Yes, but see then it wouldn’t be a template . . . it would be a “turnkey” website.

The whole idea of a template is that it is a starting point to take an do exactly what you very skillfully did – customize it into what you want / need.

nice work, although, I’ll be focus on trying to replace images from to content to articles with text. Maybe some OCR software would help

Hi tempusserbia:
Thanks for your comments, the reason I put the whole images with the information, instead of text and some images, as the normal content would be, is that the travel industry change very fast, and our travel wholesalers send us the offers and promotions in image format, it is easy and faster for us, save the image, do some retouching in photoshop, erasing the wholesaler name, and regenerate the image, and publish it right away.
Sometimes, our wholesalers sends us a promotion that expires in 2 days, for example, and if we process the image with OCR software we loose precious time processing it.
In the past, we did what you suggest us, with OCR software, and the releasing time took like 4 hours, and on the image format, takes like 20 minutes, maybe 30, at the most.
The travel business is a business of fast acting and opportunity.
Thanks again for you nice comments.
