WELCOME ABOARD!
Welcome to ProfessionalTravelGuide.com, the world’s most comprehensive travel and trip planning resource, with a travel database of more than
159,000 hotels worldwide;
7,000+ destination travel guides;
10,000+ professional hotel reviews;
150 cruise ship reviews; and 250,000+ associated high resolution images.
In addition, we offer the latest information on
travel news,
security, and business etiquette around the globe.
Why, you might still ask, does anyone need another online travel site?
To answer, I’ll start with some of what differentiates ProfessionalTravelGuide.com from the others:
• On ProfessionalTravelGuide.com, you won’t see so-called “user-generated” reviews of hotels and destinations that too often are written either by folks with axes to grind, or slyly by friends of the reviewed sites. Instead, you’re free to make your travel decisions based on reviews by over 200 professional travel journalists based around the globe, whose experience and expertise allows them to uncover insider knowledge that will make your travel experiences more enjoyable and fulfilling.
• You can’t use ProfessionalTravelGuide.com to book your trips. This means we won’t steer you to hotels, cruises, and other travel products because we’ll get a piece of the action – or because of pricing. It also means your searches will uncover properties that never show up on transaction-based sites because these hotels and cruise operators refuse to play that game. At ProfessionalTravelGuide.com, we encourage you to book your travel plans either through reputable travel agents or directly from hotels, airlines and other vendors, where you can be assured of getting the best prices and service.
But why should you trust ProfessionalTravelGuide.com? Who are we, after all? For the answer, you could ask those same travel agents, hotels, cruise ship operators, and airlines that have spent seven decades paying for access to the same massive database you now have for free.
It’s a database that comes to you courtesy of the experienced professionals behind the travel industry’s leading databases, including STAR Service Online hotel reviews, Weissmann Professional Destination Reports, Hotel & Travel Index, and Official Meeting Facilities Guide.
Since our initial website launch in October 2007, we have added some significant new features to the website, including a comprehensive
Cruise Ship Information Hub. The hub provides consumers with brand new professional cruise reviews, news, cruise line information, and useful insider tips on one of the fastest growing luxury travel segments.
It all adds up to the most comprehensive, trustworthy and unbiased online travel resource ever -- with the world’s most extensive collection of professional hotel and cruise ship reviews, breaking travel news, images, videos, destination travel guides, worldwide security data ,and global business etiquette.
So take some time to explore ProfessionalTravelGuide.com. Find new travel ideas with our
“Editor’s Top 10” selections. Pinpoint your itinerary with our state-of-the-art interactive maps. Prepare a customized
eGuidebook or our newly launched,
Pocket Guidebook, and throw out those heavy, outdated print guides forever.
The Pocket Guidebook is an application that enables travelers to create their own unique, professionally printed pre-trip books by combining relevant online travel content with personal notes and photographs.
