YTB founder resigns in management shuffle

October 09, 2009

YTB International announced the appointment of Robert Van Patten as CEO and president of the company. At the same time, Lloyd "Coach" Tomer, the company's founder, resigned as a director and chairman.

YTB said Tomer will "focus on mentoring the sales force" and spend more time on YTB's philanthropic division, Passport to Giving.

Van Patten joined YTB last April as a consultant with the title of co-CEO.

Scott Tomer, who had been co-CEO with Van Patten, was named chairman. He also is CEO of one division, YTB Marketing.

Thank you TW for pulling the profanity laced thread of the psychotic, sociopath HL. Now, could you please censor the rest of HL's insane ramblings? This person obviously is not playing with a full deck. It's really a shame YTB recruits people like this and allows them to be representative of their company.

Suppliers and Vendors want your money,not your advice on how they should operate there business, TTA's. Maybe they know more about the industry than you do. You people telling Vendors who to service is another example of TTA's, stuck up ATTITUDES, if sit next to a YTB person and you know it get your A.. up and move if you are going to get SICK. It's your STINKING ATTITUDE THAT IS CAUSEING YOUR SICKNESS, NOT THE YTB REP. NEXT TO YOU. You weren't sick until you asked who they were with, then when you got your answer, you got sick. Why were you there, to feed you face because it was free also and you didn't want to be home alone. I will never care about your visions of me because I fight back. You throw the ROCK and miss, I pick it up and throw it back and you get hit upside your BIG HEAD. You know with a HEAD THAT BIG nobody can miss a target a like that. Duck next time. HL

#60 I know how to spell a simple word, I chose not too, but you got the message loud and clear. So now you want you want TW to censor me. I personally don't care about TTA's being upset. That's your problem and yours alone. I am not upset regardless of your name calling. You think too highly of yourself and who anointed you overseerer of TW. You have no authority to tell TW what to do, and who to censor you little stinker. You said degrading things and what if they censor you. If you can't take it, don't dish it. I warned you in the beginning not too throw rocks and you didn't listen. NOW you are crying for help. You weakling, no back bone, crybaby, a little bullie who got smashed in the mouth and now crying. Stay off the blog with your dumb statements and you want have to deal with me. But if not we can have it out and you will lose, because you are inferior and a crying coward. HL

I have over 30 years of travel experience and I LOVE YTB- "What did you do..drive around the block?" All you idiots and uninformed travel agents who work for someone else and make half of what you book need to take a look at what you can make with YTB-"Quick, we want to be just as ignorant as those who are in YTB?" FAM trips are not limited, I should know, I've been on several this year. "GEE as a REAL agent I wish I wasn't so busy selling travel or maybe I would be taking fams all the time also" People go and shop the internet after you've given them the info and will book it themselves to save 10 cents. "Nope, they would rather come to a knowledgable travel agent not a click and buy" I will throw back and try to knock your head off "YES, this is the vision I get of the way YTB people are!"
