EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD
Travel Market Report’s Editorial Advisory Board was established in 2011 to provide the editors with the uncensored input and guidance of industry leaders. The Board supports Travel Market Report in fulfilling its charter as the Voice of the Travel Seller.
The Advisory Board meets quarterly with Travel Market Report editors to:
* Provide feedback and ideas about overall editorial content and direction
* Recommend story ideas, areas of coverage, and website improvements
* Explore how Travel Market Report might better serve as an advocate and resource for readers.
The Advisory Board comprises 12 travel sellers who represent a cross-section of the travel agency industry. Members serve at the invitation of Travel Market Report for a one-year term, with the possibility of renewal.
