experience: travel trade

Our writing appears frequently in travel trade publications aimed at meeting planners, travel agents, and tour operators. We write both destination reports and features on assignment.

For the past eight years, we've written about the Caribbean annually for Primedia's business publications: Corporate Meetings and Incentives, Medical Meetings, Association Meetings, Religious Conference Manager, and Financial and Insurance Conference Planner. Our articles have also appeared in Technology Meetings magazine.

We've written advertorials for Corporate Meetings and Incentives as well as for Successful Meetings as well.

Our trade experience includes six years as contributing editors for Meetings West and two years of as contributing editors of Meeting South. Our work has also appeared in Meetings East.

We have written frequently for Travel Agent magazine as well as Selling North America (formerly Travel Agent International). We recently wrote an extensive chapter on worldwide destination weddings for an ASTA handbook to be published in both US and UK editions.

Our articles have also appeared in Senior Travel Tips (tour operators), Expo (exposition managers), Courier (tour operators), and others.
