Paul White’s B&B Blog V The Travel Industry HELP! #tds2010
It’s the most spectacular showdown since England V… the USA (?) I’m going up against the biggest names in the industry at this week’s Travel Distribution Summit and in desperate need of your help…
I’m setting up a camera and will be filming interviews over two days, flying the flag for the B&B industry. My philosophy with the B&B Club is that if we stick together then as one we can be mightier than the big players. So please, B&B owners of the world, I need your help. What on earth shall I ask these lot?
