The T-List – Travel and Tourism Bloggers

March 6th, 2007 · 6 Comments · Destination Marketing

Update: Click below for the big T-List.


T-List

Here’s my version of the T-list. This is a list of Travel and Tourism Bloggers started by Mathieu over at Radar.

Instructions
– Write a post.
– Copy/paste the link list from the post you’ve discovered the T-List into it.
– Make sure the links are active and correct.
– If your blog is on the list, remove it’s not a self-promotion post. As Tim Fehlman (Z-List) said : “Don’t worry, because if your name is on mine, it’s on others and will spread.”
Add your favorite tourism and travel blogs on it.
– Add the url of the blog where you’ve discovered the T-List as well.
– Publish the post.
– People will notice the T-List and continue it.

I’ve added the recent winners of the 2007 Travvies and some of my A-listers. I suppose I’d add to the list if you send me a link or we could let Karin do it.

It’s not really that “wild”, but it is kind of in the center. For another “fake, but real” adventure, you can swirl around in our own Great Escape Lodge where “365 Days of Summer” is their motto.

Now get your chopsticks ready. If some would have their way, we’ll be feasting our eyes on “…a $40-million, 60,000-square-foot project that could include a tank of native Lake George species, a coral reef exhibit and a shark tank”. Possibly in Queensbury! Yeah!
