John Peters with Arthur Frommer at a recent radio interview

A very common question is “May we speak with some of your specialists?”  Of course!  So, we have a select group of specialists we refer.  Sometimes the journalist will ask “May I speak with one of your (enter destination or travel type, say Mexico or Scuba) specialists for a story I’m writing?” My response? “You bet!”  A few of you have asked how you too get quoted as an expert so consider this an open invitation.

Being a successful Tripologist is one thing. Having what it takes to be a successful, nationally recognized Tripologist who gets quoted in the press is another.  You not only need to be an expert in a destination(s) or travel type, you have to have your finger on your client’s pulse.  You have to be able to speak about trends.  You have to be able to articulate how using Tripology has helped your business.  You also have to be committed to the project; journalists will want speedy follow up because they’re on deadline.
