Dear PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,

My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in Asia, SE Asia or Oceania, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.

Sincerely,
Mike & Anne

People will be able to book rooms and suites in Buckingham and Kensington palaces for the 2012 Olympics, says EasyToBook.com. How does a conventional hotel compete against that?

New Orleans hotels are jacking up prices for Mardi Gras; you can't even get a room in town for less than $300. But wait -- is this unethical pricing, or is it a legitimate response to the law of supply and demand?

I agree that WiFi is necessary. And, I'm starting to find that some are charging for it. Free or pay? What do you think?

A new survey of travelers and hotel executives finds that the most important hotel amenity for the U.S. traveler is wi-fi. Do you second that emotion?
