Seeking WorldWIT Wisdom
As you may have noticed on your local WorldWIT list, we have been asking for summertime tips from our members. This week we are looking for 'Tips on Making the Most Out of Summertime Business Travel.' For example, how can you fit a vacation into a business trip? How do you get the best airfare, train deals, etc.? What are the best ways to travel with kids on business? What do you do with kids that are staying at home? Do business hotels take pets? How do you take care of home while away on business or before you go? How do you swing getting your spouse to come along on the company dime? What are some great tropical/summer locations for business trips? And so on...
Please email Kristi Hughes, WorldWIT's Director of Communications, with your tips and advice. Please let her know if you'd like to remain anonymous should your advice be included in the next media outreach. Also, please feel free to pass this query on to a friend that might have some great insights.
