Important
PR Tip for Travel Destinations
Society of American Travel Writer Janet Groene reminds destinations
to put a phone number for consumers on your Website and news
releases. "Keep in mind that many of us write for editors who
require the phone number, along with the Who, What, When and
Where that goes into any good journalism. When I can't find a
consumer number or one of the other crucial W's in three clicks
or less, I must move on to the next release."
