TravelTalkMEDIA published this cartoon in the TTM newsletter.

Mar 16, 2009
Vegas Changed their message - TTM sends out this cartoon in response.

In support of its meetings and events industry, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has adopted a new message to promote the value of meeting in Las Vegas. TravelTalkMEDIA applauds Las Vegas and looks to see more action to back up the new message. The worn out, What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas theme belongs back-in-the-day. There is a new day in America. Now let's get to work and enjoy our surroundings, just a little tiny bit. And don't go overboard!

To respect your body and your planet, you just may want to find out why eating organically grown foods could and should be in your immediate future.

Vania Almeida - AWARD WINNING Los Angeles CHEF from the Second Story Restaurant.  
 

Fine dining and experiencing new dishes are key reasons why people travel. So we asked Executive Chef Vania Almeida of the Second Story Restaurant in LA, “Hey good looking, whatcha got cookin’?” Vania is a top chef approaching “rock star” status and her restaurant is at the Hotel Belamar, a fabulous luxury boutique hotel just minutes from LAX in Manhattan Beach (and TravelTalkMEDIA's accommodation of choice in Los Angeles). The Chef joins us to chat about the process she recently went through in cooking up a new menu for her very hip dining spot. Caution: You may suddenly find yourself very hungry after listening to this interview!

Bill Connors, Executive Director, National Business Travel Association

Finally, we’ll take a look at a more serious story that involves the US travel industry crying foul as the new Administration in DC denounces corporate business travel to Las Vegas on grounds of decadence, excess, and the appearance of impropriety. Executive Director, Bill Connors from the National Business Travel Association, joins me to discuss why the travel industry is blaming mass media and the new US administration for failing to recognize the huge economic benefits of corporate travel and most specifically business travel including meetings and conventions.

Do corporate meeting destinations like Las Vegas have a responsibility to redraft their marketing messages and reconsider their offerings to potential business travel visitors in line with the new Administration's call for accountability and transparency?

The cost of travel is normally a corporation's second or third largest controllable expense. With the economy currently “taking a breather", corporate travel management has never been more important and the NBTA is the cornerstone for professional development in this growing field. If your company has a band of road warriors doing business far from home every week, find out how the corporate travel expert training and certification programs offered by NBTA can help you maximize your travel budget dollars.

Interested in a career change? Thought about buying corporate travel? Listen to an interesting conversation with President of  NBTA Kevin McGuire on Feb 08, 2009. His day job is buying travel for the sports teams at Texas University. Find out why this particular niche in the industry is thriving -  Click HERE
