I think what is missing is the fact that there is no logo or strong identity at the top. The only other thing i would say is to change the vertical set of links. They look a little odd at the moment. Maybe add icons to go with each of the different catergories. Overall, Nice site.
Good Luck

but travelagent, if he wants people to comment on the design, then thats fair enough, colours, logo's, etc is a multi-ligual thing... Its not as if they are asking you to make an indepth analysis of the content. I managed it fine.
