A tribute to my friend, the late travel media icon Arthur Frommer

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. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

Does anyone have PR contacts for Belize? Thanks! John

This is an interesting decision because of the long-range implications. It doesn’t give artists what they want now, but could cap future copyright gabs as the on-line business evolves. And if one jurisdiction thinks this way, could it serve as an insight into how other courts will think?

Last numbers I saw had T&L at 92 out of 100 in circulation. No other travel mags in the top 100. Sad... The Internet killed the magazine star!

I doubt any travel magazine was ever in the top 10, circ-wise, but circ isnt everything. There is something to be said for pure, special interest audiences when it comes to buying/selling advertising especially in the travel market where most advertisers want the affluent. My magazine has 54,000,000 readers, but other than state/city CVBs and tourism boards we dont get a lot of travel advertising because most travel marketers only want HH $100,000+

Sam, I'm an old-fashioned kinda-guy. I get assignments and I do them. Just because a magazine isn't in the top 10 doesn't mean it doesn't have needs. It's not out of business. And not every title is geared to serve a mass circulation. So until editors stop saying yes, I plug away.

I woke up ten minutes ago to news that the number one newsstand magazine in the U.S. is Cosmopolitan, which beats every other magazine by a landslide. (Number two is Woman's World, and three is People.) Overall newsstand sales have fallen 10%, and there are no travel magazines in the top 10 or maybe the top 50. What makes you travel writers continue to plug away at this?
