October Leisure Group Travel Now Online
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to GO, you know we also produce print magazines
Leisure Group Travel and TRAVELtips. We know more and more
planners like yourself are going online to research
destinations and suppliers, and to meet this need we've
made our publications fully available online. Starting with
our October edition of Leisure Group Travel, entire
magazines can be seen on the web!
You would have received an email from us yesterday
regarding our October edition of Leisure Group Travel.
There's some great features and columns including our
bi-annual updates on the Great Lakes and Southeastern
States that come to you with a special twist - agritourism
destinations.
All of our articles are produced in Adobe PDF, to ensure
"same" viewing of the beautiful pictures, and ads that
appear in the print magazine. This also makes printing
articles easier, as text doesn't get reformatted or
cut-off. We think you'll like it!

October Teleconference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our next teleconference will be held on Friday, Oct. 22, at
1PM Eastern. The topic will be the new GO on the Web
program. This offers you the opportunity to have your own
Web site, that you can create in literally minutes, for
less than $25 per month. Mike Marchev will be joined by PTM
Publisher Jeff Gayduk. Jeff will literally walk you through
the process of getting started with your own site. If you
already have a site but it's not giving you everything you
want, you should still check out this session. There is no
charge, but you must register at . If you are unable to
attend, the CD will be available for sale in the GO Books
and CDs section for $12. Our last teleconference with Dan
McManus was great and he had many promotional ideas, such
as putting a marketing message on the back of your business
card or using your company logo on clothing. If you missed
that call, you can order the CD online at the GO Web site.
