TripAdvisor: Great Enabler Or Evil Empire?
After I wrote my last Marketing:Travel column addressing the debate over whether or not hotels should link to the TripAdvisor site, I got an email from Adele Gutman Milne, vice president of sales & marketing for HKHotels in New York City. For her, there is no debate—of course, you link to TripAdvisor. Her four hotels are all ranked in the top 10 when you search New York City and, for her, TripAdvisor is definitely the great enabler. It’s given her small collection of hotels an enormous amount of visibility and that has translated into bookings. Lots of bookings.

Go West, KB, Go West
To escape Boston for a long weekend, my fiancé and I made the trek to Denver, Colorado, home of the Rockies and Tim Tebow. In a nutshell, the trip was awesome. Shout outs to Davin and Erica for being such excellent hosts. For this post, I wanted to avoid waxing poetically about my trip. I like to be concise. And since I’m the digital producer at ISM, I figured that I should give it that digital spin, that tech flavor. So behold: my long weekend via Instagram.
