"I'm not sure where you're based, Chloe, but in the UK we have the Italian Tourist Board offices which also have a media department that handles all ex-UK media requests. I assume the same would be true of other countries. The Italian head office…"

Hi Trevor, I handle PR and communications for 3 prestigious London hotels which have interesting historical backgrounds including the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton, The Bentley Hotel - Waldorf Astoria Collection and the Washington Mayfair. I would love to invite you for a tour of the properties some time and perhaps work on a feature or two.....let me know if you are interested.
Good evening, Trevor, and welcome to go-lo! It's wonderful to have a journalist of your background and experience with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.
