This year has been a whirlwind. In 2008, I somehow managed to move across town (again), turn 23, hear Oprah deliver a commencement speech, endure the loss of a beloved dog, leave a big company in pursuit of a dream, travel to the Dominican Republic, become engaged, get robbed at knife point, learn to wake board, and find my new job here, at Digett. In that order.
Ecotourism, green travel, limited-footprint vacationing—call it what you like, more and more travelers are taking into account the environmental effects of their vacation choices. Even the RV world is beginning to get a little green. Promoting your venue or destination to environmentally aware consumers can bring rewards.
I couldn't be happier about representing Digett at this year's Texas Travel Summit (September 21-24), hosted by the Texas Travel Industry Association. For starters, I haven't been to Galveston since I was a kid, and I'm itching to erase the memory of a brutal sunburn. Better yet, I'll be bringing many of you with me.
We've long worked with companies in tourism, and some even in lodging. Until today, though, we'd not claimed a genuine hotel among our portfolio of clients. We'll be kicking off phase 1 with a 1-yr SEO contract. Stay tuned for more details. I hope to be able to talk more by mid-week. Exciting stuff.
In our inaugaural e-Newsletter I promised to post a link to my photos from a recent excursion down a 26-mile stretch of the Devil's River. Here they are.
