Dear Lanier Publishing, Great news! The Travel Promotion Act passed congress on February 25th and is on it's way to President Obama.  This bill will increase jobs and promote our industry!  We want to take a moment to thank everyone who got involved, wrote or called their senators and helped pass this bill.  It's important that we continue our involvement in our local, state and national government.  Keep up the good work! Last month I had the opportunity to attend the National Geographic Geotourism Summit in Washington DC.  Hundreds of travel leaders and green travel promoters gathered to see what is new in the industry and share ideas about Geotourism.  I had the honor to complete the Geotourism Ambassador training and I have a number of ideas I would love to share during a presentation at your next conference or annual meeting.  Please email Nicole@travelguides.com for more information. 30-40% Savings for Innkeepers Perfect Fit is offering your members an unbeatable opportunity with this 30-40% saving on your basic bedding needs.
