Klamath Falls, Oregon, July 22, 2008: Accent on Travel USA has once again been awarded a place on Condé Nast Traveler Magazine's prestigious Top Travel Specialists List for 2008 – for the seventh consecutive year.

The agency has also earned a Certificate of Appreciation from Amtrak as a Top Revenue Producer for 2007.

Ted and Sylvia Blishak, "The Train Travel Consultants at Accent on Travel USA", are retail agents rather than tour operators. They enjoy customizing upscale rail vacations for individuals who want something a little different, and consider the onboard journey at least as important as the destination.

In order to stay current with travel conditions, they ride the long-distance passenger trains of five different rail companies in the US And Canada. In addition, they travel on private rail expeditions such as the GrandeLuxe Express, as well as privately owned rail car trips. They also ride the Grand Canyon Railway and other tourist trains.

Accent on Travel USA receives and posts informative updates from traveling clients; details which are not available in any travel brochure. (See "Your Trip Reports" at www.accentontravelusa.com ).

The railroad executives the Blishaks are acquainted with keep them updated with the latest news about this exciting, yet relaxed, way to travel, which continues to grow in popularity.

As gasoline prices and airfares have increased, so have first-class bookings on Amtrak’s long-distance trains. "On any given day this summer, there may be only one bedroom compartment available on the overnight trains, while some dates are completely sold out," Ted reports. "After all, when boarding Amtrak, you don’t have to take off your shoes or fasten a seat belt."

As Conde Nast Traveler’s experts in Rail Travel: North America, the experience the Blishaks bring to the travel industry is unique.
