Professional Travel Guide targets the luxury traveler with the most recognized hotel rating system in the industry, as well as business, etiquette and security information for the well-informed businessperson. Our continued growth, through July 31 of 2008, emphasizes this goal:
- More than 55% of our users earn more than $60,000 annually, with nearly 10% earning more than $150,000. Those figures represent a total 7.5% increase over the industry average.
- More than 68% of our users are established travelers over the age of 35.
- Nearly 60% of our users are female, 4.5% over the industry average.
- Usage in major travel markets, including California, New York and the D.C.-metro area, is higher than industry average.
Travelers flock online for research
More and more travelers, especially coveted high-end travelers, are making their way to the Internet to find information before they make plans. A recent survey by BURST Research shows that travelers falling into the luxury category are not only booking trips online, but also doing plenty of research (see table on right).
The question becomes: How does your business reach these all-important travelers, especially without losing booking revenues to third-party vendors? That's where Professional Travel Guide can help.
Professional Travel Guide has been developed to facilitate the direct-to-vendor movement, bringing consumers together with hotels, cruises, airlines, traditional high-end travel agents and other industry vendors, directly enabling the best possible margins for your business.
The direct-to-vendor movement, as evidenced by American Airlines’ recent decision to discontinue its relationship with Kayak, is more efficient for travelers, allowing them to be assured of getting the best prices and service. Our site, ProfessionalTravelGuide.com, is completely non-transactional. Our business model is based purely on ad revenue.
The following are our general advertising opportunities. If you have any questions, please contact one of our regional sales managers.
