Are you an “experimental traveller”? Do the quiz.
Saturday 8 July 2006 by Edward.
I love Doc martin’s Travel show podcasts, broadcast from Melbourne, Australia. This week’s podcast is about “experimental travel” experiences. He sent out two of his lucky students to bar hop (actually, they probably volunteered for this experiment). The task assigned was to follow a unknown path through an evening, a path based on the favourite bar and favourite drink recommended by each pub’s bartender. Doc Martin also provides a link to Lonely Planet’s Guide to Experimental Travel.
Do you have an “experimental travel” experience to share? Do you have a travel destination podcast?
Oh, yes. Roger A. Brooks. His Rule No.9 “The rule of frontline sales” states that ‘The bellman does more than just open doors.’ Train every frontline employee about every attraction or site in town, and have each adopt one destination in which they become the local expert.
