About Tourist Information Flamingo
Tourist Information Flamingo is:
Claudia Hladik
Claudia was born in Germany behind the Iron Curtain.
She escaped with her family a few years before the Wall
came down, got a degree and pursued a successful career
in marketing in Munich.
She left everything behind to take a diving job in Flamingo,
and never went back. Since then she has worked as a
freelance Divemaster, a hotel concierge, advertising
manager for The Beach Times, marketing strategist for a
local sailboat, and, for the past few years, owner of Claudia's
Bike Rentals.
Claudia is fluent in German and English, and communicates well in Spanish.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Are these questions really frequently asked?
No, not really, we just wanted to make a couple points.
2. You just want to sell tours, right?
It’s true, Tourist Information Flamingo makes its business by selling tours, but we
really want to assist you any way we can, even if it’s just answering questions and
offering advice. Why? Two reasons:
•
First, Claudia loves it, she’s just friendly and helpful by nature- she can’t help
herself.
•
And second, chances are eventually you or someone you know is going to want to
book a tour or activity, and we think that once you’ve met Claudia you’ll prefer to
just have her handle it- and tell your friends to do the same.
3. Why should I book through you instead of just going straight to the
operator? Aren’t you going to tack your commission onto the price?
No. Our commission always comes out of the operator’s end... that’s the way it’s
supposed to work and that’s the way it always is at Tourist Information Flamingo...
Plus: we just make it so much easier. We can tell you what all the options are and
explain the differences, then we get on the phone and make it happen.
And obviously we protect our own reputation by booking clients with reputable
operators only.
So basically we do all the work and it doesn’t cost you a dime.
After its first two years, Tourist Information Flamingo already gets more business
from referrals and return customers than from walk-ins. That’s because Claudia
makes her clients happy.

have tried the karaoke - not! The trip went
by so fast but I did get to do a lot of things,
thanks to you....so keep it up and enjoy the
good life! Kim.
