Read more…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…

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.

@Sam - I wasn't privy to the interraction between client & PR, but...my observation & experience w/BVK is that yes, they encouraged their client(s) - which include other experience I've also had with them re. the Dominican Republic - to make a strategic decision to go that route. But since other people in other media do travel there - although not as part of a sponsored press trip - they can still claim they "assist". Like Republicans, they'll always have deniability about what they actually do. Personally I'm beyond caring since I go anyway, no thanks to them nor do I inform them when I cover anything in either of those destinations.
Hal, excuse this question from a writer who's not a travel writer: Are you saying that the Belize Tourism Board favors online writers over newspaper and magazine writers? Isn't that the opposite of what other boards do?
@John - re: your Belize question - the media contact for the Belize Tourism Board for north Am. media is a firm called BVK. However, they won't help you out with a single thing unless you're in with their circle of bloggers and beware if you ever did print. That includes even sending you a press release, & their people never return calls. You're just better off sidelining them & contacting directly the individual PR repping properties or activities, if you need help them message me - I have a few such.
Thanks Janice!

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!
