Hello, travelers and marketers, alike.  We know we’ve been a bit MIA lately but please know we are eager and willing to share our thoughts, perspectives and ideas about travel in 2010!  We’ve been putting together our editorial calendar, leaving room for spontaneous posts of course but at the onset, wanted to share some ideas about trends and hot spots in the industry that we’re keeping a close watch on:

- Let’s Make a Deal: travel is buyers’ market not more than ever

-  Rise of the Web: viral offers, reviews, experiences and new tools

- The -isms within tourism: eco, medical, religious, volunteer, etc.

- The Best of the Best: analyze our favorite and the most successful campaigns we are seeing come to life

- A POV on Thier POV: Watching travel watch travel leaders are saying and breaking it down

These are just some broad strokes of what we’re looking to get into this year - what else would you add? What are some of your favorite travel trends yet this year?  We’ll be watching our favorite travel brands (destinations, airlines, hotels, carriers and online aggregates) as well as our fellow travel bloggers (Jaunted, WorldHum, Earth, Matador and the Window Seat, to name a few) for inspiration and thoughts as well!

Looking forward to many traveling thoughts in 2010!
