If there is anything I can’t stand, it’s the way the tourist industry has been dragging its feet about marketing. In my own county, the bigwigs are thinking about dismantling a local tourism group. And New York State hasn’t exactly been on the ball with its online marketing agenda. There’s been discussion that NYS may [...]

The Mohawk Valley (the area wedged between the Catskills and the Adirondacks in Central New York) has a nice new website. It’s a website created to promote the assets of living in Upstate New York. I noticed they have a terrific page for tourism in the Mohawk Valley. The only shortcoming is that my blog [...]

Hey here’s a terrific idea if you are part of a group looking to raise some funds: sell car magnets! Car magnets are very popular items today. I have a few on my white minivan. I’ve actually been considering having some car magnets printed up with my “New York Traveler” logo on them. It would [...]

I know a lot of people who have been on cruises. I haven’t (yet), but they look like so much fun! I have dreams of traveling the world someday, and I think a Royal Caribbean Cruise is the perfect way to do it. How about you, have you been on a cruise? I should take [...]
