commercial lists)?

Hello Wetinterests--

When you say "travel and tourism media contacts," are you referring to
names and contact information for travel reporters and writers?

How many such contacts do you need?

I may know of a location for this information without substantial
cost, depending on how many you need and of what type. Typically, with
the exception of cable operations dedicated directly to the industry,
the broadcast media doesn't report on travel news. However, there are
a substantial number of print writers who cover the industry. Would a
website where you could access large list of print travel writers help
you, if I could find such an animal?

Thanks,

darrel-ga

Dear Darrel-ga

Yes I am looking for names of individual journalists and tel., mail,
email address contact info that are employed by the travel and tourism
and/or print & broadcast media. I am well informed re: commercial
subscriptions for access to gebbieinc.com, Bacon's medialists, and PBI
(and those like them) media contacts.

You asked:  "Would a website where you could access large list of
print travel writers help you, if I could find such an animal?"  YES.
If it wasn't requesting a fee like the abovementioned.

How many? 50+ would be a grande start.

Thanks for your attention and interest thus far!
