The New York Times Talks Business-Travel Blogs
We want to give a shout-out to the NYT for yesterday’s reportage on blogs and business travel. Along with Gridskipper and CloudTravel, we were listed as an important resource for business travelers looking to get insights on destinations and flights.
Tracy Gamble, vice president for business development at Propylon, a software company, has found travel blogs to be a great resource. Ms. Gamble, who is based in Dallas and spends half her time traveling, reads three or four travel blogs regularly, including the Informed Traveler, CloudTravel and Gridskipper.
“I regularly consult these blogs before making client dinner reservations,” she said. She also uses them, she said, to keep up on travel news like changes in government security procedures.
It’s absolutely true — I rely on “Informed Traveler” for news about luxury property openings, and especially on how to maximize my business travel dollar by finding exclusive specials at great hotels. You’re one of my favorite RSS feeds.
Keep up the good work!
A huge thanks for your kind words! Glad we can be of service.
many thanks and all best,
Mary Nicklin
