Travel-Intel Now on Sightseeing.com

Hip Travel-Industry Newsletter Brings Added Spice to Top Travel Sites on the Internet

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 21, 2011) - Travel-Intel, a new travel industry newsletter published by Tours.com and produced by award-winning travel journalist Lark Ellen Gould, can now be seen in two places on the Internet. Sightseeing.com, a directory and search resource with information on sightseeing tours available in cities all over the world, now carries a full version of Travel-Intel. Tours.com also carries the sassy and engaging travelzine, which helps keep travel agents informed about unusual tours, hotels and destinations and points travel-minded consumers to places they might not want to miss.

Travel-Intel comes out twice a month and is sent to more than 100,000 sellers of travel in the U.S. and Canada before posting on Tours.com and now Sightseeing.com. Each issue carries half a dozen stories about trends in the travel industry, airline controversies, popular and exotic destinations, and dream stays in hotels around the globe. This week's Travel-Intel features a look at the next hot travel spots and experiences, according to gurus of the travel industry. The article notes what was predicted this time last year for travel in 2011 and then projects ahead to 2012.

Travel-Intel also sheds light on ghostly places, revealing the top 10 haunted hotels in the U.S. and why the fear factor is such big business in this country. Another feature examines airline policy that permits doubling down on passengers of girth by charging them for an extra seat, while another story shows what lies beyond cruising for travelers seeking adventure on the high seas.

"Travel-Intel represents the new direction of travel publishing," says Gould. "It's hard-hitting with news and features that travel-minded people need and want to read, and it is targeted to reach the people who need these updates. Punchy, funny, unpredictable, Travel-Intel keeps readers engaged and travel agents on their toes because anyone who travels knows you can't go to the same place twice. It's a river out there!"
