Spring 2009 Editorial Lineup

I’m pleased to present you with the Spring 2009 line up of articles that will help give you a head start on marketing and selling to your clients! The general focus this issue is Europe, with a spotlight on Italy.

With a challenging economy, we have incorporated a ‘back to basics’ message about travel and the articles lean towards a return to the simple pleasures that Italy and Europe have to offer, as well as some suggestions for things to do “on the cheap”. For example, David Miller writes about Puglia’s Simple Pleasures, a region in Italy that is on the “next hot spot” list, while Debra Conkey gives some advice on how to plan an (affordable) farmhouse villa vacation in Tuscan Treasures. Anita Draycott writes about seeing Paris on a Budget, and Michele Sponagle provides a special listing of Europe’s Best Spring Festivals that your clients could potentially plan their vacation around. If that’s not tempting enough, check out the mouth-watering spread on the Five Best Pizza Places in Naples – the photo alone has made a few of us in the office want book the next available flight!

 




Additionally, we have the following articles:

Yes, No, Maybe So - A fun and ‘handy’ lesson in gesturing through out Europe The Undiscovered French Riviera - Leaving the ‘bling’ behind to find a sweeter, lesser known side of the French Riviera Czech Mate: Memoirs of the Czech Republic - Our writer’s personal journey to her father’s homeland Dazzling Dubrovnik - Insider tips on getting the most out this Croatian city On Location: Istanbul Crawford’s Caribbean - An interview with Four Seasons NY executive chef Lynn Crawford, who will be one of the personalities on the Ensemble Grand Journey’s cruise, Island Splendors

Our regular sections include a look at style and beauty trends, recipes from Prague, Old World wines, a cultural closeup on Moscow and more!

You should be receiving your copies of the magazine on March 9 - that is also the drop date at Canada Post for your databases.

I hope you and your clients enjoy this new issue on Italian Amore!
