It is basically a travel provider pyramid scheme, i.e. the more people that you bring in to the company, the more you get paid and then get paid more when they bring people in, etc. I believe that there is an annual fee involved also. The "free" trips that they give out for attending have the usual restrictions that all of those types of giveaways have.
The Cruise Critic people have reported (for years) that this company also changes it's label with different mailings and calls. Like "Cruise and Travel" showcase or "Cruiser Showcase..." Folks have attended and all report it's a scam. ($4000-$13000 buy-in and $100s/month). Even for those who stick around and get their "prize", it doesn't come free. They charge $99 for the vouchers and $99 for reservation requests. All via mail with self-addressed and stamped envelopes required... No one reported to have stuck it out to see real travel.
It's obvious. It's a scam.
