  The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses.

    Today at The World on Wheels, two hours north of L.A. lies Bakersfield at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. Not pretty to look at from the freeway, once you explore you'll find this city has a ton of hidden gems and charms on a shoestring budget: http://tinyurl.com/2aeqmrr

    TravelTools is the world's most advanced travel software featuring all back-end website features such as newsletters, maps, calendars of events, reservations, itinerary builders, custom itinerary maps, route planners, client admin panels, advertising, e-commerce, and a robust data-mining engine. TravelTools serves destination marketers by providing a link between points of interest and visitors. It also serves highly-differentiated affinity markets such as budget travel.


    
I am looking for investors and/or strategic marketing partners to expand our scope into all aspects of travel, point of presence advertising, and event support. Our fully-developed product includes full and innovative support for QR codes, Smartphones, and Social Media sites.


    
Interested and qualified parties must be willing to sign an NDA since our marketing plans and applications are far-advanced and ready to apply to the market. Interested parties must also be ready to attack the market since we are not interested in creeping forward and exposing our solutions without gaining a significant, first mover advantage. Please respond to http://www.tools-for-travel.com/contact.html


    
Our applications will change travel marketing and how travelers interact in space. Each of our applications are instantly monetized. They also develop robust and profitable data assets built on individual and aggregate user profiles and preferences.

    Weekend rates from $99 a night at 19 Kimpton Hotels through May 1 if you book by March 3. Strictly speaking, that's not budget travel, but jeez, these are fabulous places for 99 bucks.

    These Turkey trips sponsored by a nonprofit aren't true budget travel, but they seem like a very good value.  See Tripatini's Turkey group.
