In the world of marketing, it’s a well-known fact that repetition is key to getting your audience to remember information. In this case, we want you to remember to book the TSA rates in the GDS or the TRAVESLAVERS rates in tripXpress! So while our last volume tackled why TSA rates trump best available rates, in this volume Bill is back to say Don’t Book OTA Rates – Book TSA Rates! You’ll learn more about the benefits of TSA and how to better serve your clients.

Now, I would like to draw your attention to our wonderful feature article, Travel Sustainably with BWH Hotels. As more corporations begin to track their sustainability measures, BWH Hotels is giving those clients some great options to keep in compliance. Whether it’s electric vehicle charging stations, partnering with leading sustainability organizations, or hotels focusing on their local environment, there are many ways eco-conscious travelers can enjoy BWH Hotels.

In speaking of sustainability measures, Dublin, Ireland has implemented sustainability initiatives and is one of the world’s most bicycle-friendly cities. It’s also the topic of one of our destination articles, A Summer Guide to Dublin, from Charming Parks to Seaside Escapes. Learn more about its history, activities, and where to stay.

We’re also excited to share a special destination article, Explore San Juan's Charms, brought to you by Discover Puerto Rico. You’ll learn a bit about San Juan’s history, culture, and activities, along with some recommendations from the TRAVELSAVERS Hotel Division on wonderful places to stay.
