Sharon Hinton’s travel agency, Travel Right Now 365, specializes in group trips, conferences, meetings, entertainment, and families. “I handle flight arrangement, lodging, transportation, and sightseeing events,” she says. “I connect with food service offices and event planners.

“As a child,” Hinton says, “ my parents introduced us to new cultures, and we took two vacations each year. I want to pass these benefits along to other people, to share my passion for learning other cultures.” Hinton welcomes new people working in her agency, saying,  “I bring people on to become part of the business, to become agents, that way they can travel at forty to eighty percent off retail prices. we have a ball, and travel expenses are 1005 tax deductible, including airfare, hotel, car rental, and food.”
