What’s On
www.travelpress.com’s Industry Events Calendar – as the name suggests – provides updates on what’s happening today, tomorrow and next month. Presentations, product launches, seminars, workshops, you name it, the Industry Events Calendar has it.
Even better, suppliers, associations and others can load the information themselves simply by contacting us and setting up an account.

Digital Editions
And, in case you were under the impression that we were just about online – think again. www.travelpress.com is Baxter Travel Media’s (BTM) flagship on the Web, but BTM does lots of other really neat things.The company produces weekly print publications – Canadian Travel Press and Travel Courier – for the Canadian travel and tourism industry. In fact, it has been covering the travel trade industry for more than 40 years.
 
But, with the changes in communications and media that have taken place in the past 15 years, BTM recognized that it need to reach an audience that was using the Web and looking for information in a different format.

So we’ve adapted and taken advantage of all the benefits that new technology and the World Wide Web provides and created digital editions of our print publications – same stories presented with our same design style, but available in an e-format.

Check them out by going to the digital edition area on the left hand side of the page – click on either the Canadian Travel Press or Travel Courier icon, subscribe and then explore the wonderful world of digital publishing.

We did it first. We do it best.
 
Travel Blast
For our suppliers, we’ve also created a push e-mail product called Travel Blast that lets them get their message, in their words, out to the people that want to hear it. Yes, we’re subscriber-based so the people that receive our Travel Blast – with your message – really want to hear what you’ve got to say.

There’s more, but it might be better if you clicked back to our Home Page and started checking things out for yourself.

And, by the way, welcome to www.travelpress.com – the home of travel and tourism news, product and travel services information, special programs for travel agents and lots, lots more.
