Call us old fashion, but we subscribe to the philosophy of believing in someone until they give us a reason not to.  For that reason, we, at GuidetoMilitaryTravel.com, take great pride in offering our readers/visitors an honest opinion about our travel experiences.  We will never recommend anything to them that we wouldn’t recommend to our family.  After all, that’s what they are – our extended military family. We provide this information as a service to the Armed Forces and their families.  Our recommendations on where to stay, what to do, where to eat and what to buy is our honest opinion and based on personal experience.  Our columns, featured stories and reviews will never include a recommendation we haven’t personally tried nor is it influenced by any form of compensation.  We value the trust they have placed in us to help them find and plan the perfect vacation and/or getaway.  Time with family is always precious but in the military it is somehow even more sacred and cherished.  If there was ever a group in our society that deserved, warranted and needed a vacation more than most, it’s the US Military and their families!

Travel Industry

To Travel Industry Professionals:

Thank you for thinking of GuidetoMilitaryTravel.com to promote your destination or place of business.  We feature (quite  proudly) the largest selection of military travel discounts on the Web!  We have multiple ways to promote your destination.

First of all, our military discount travel listing.  This listing is currently free.  All you have to do is submit the following:

Three or four sentence on your place of business or destination.  Include ONE INTERNET QUALITY (around 100 dpi) photo, your web address, and a phone number our visitors can call for questions.  This is a perfect sample (plus the photo):

Dinosaur World, an outdoor dinosaur museum with over 150 life size dinosaurs, offers free active military discount with ID. We also offer $1 off dependants with ID. In addition to the Dinosaur Walk, visitors can search thru sand in search of authentic fossils to take home at the Fossil Dig, unearth a life size dinosaur skeleton in the Boneyard, learn in the Prehistoric Museum, walk thru the Skeleton Garden, enter Carnivore Boardwalk, cross into Deinoynchus Island, enjoy picnic areas, playgrounds, giftshop and more. Dinosaur World is located outside Orlando in Plant City on I-4, exit 17. For more information visit www.dinoworld.net or call 813-717-9865.

Now, currently, we have listings that are longer, shorter, have more pictures, have no pictures...etc.  We are not as strict with the policy now as we will be in the near future.  What matters is that we get the information to the people who need it - the military.  We'll worry about rules and formats later!

Secondly, we have a nationally syndicated travel column in military newspapers and popular websites.  We currently estimate our readership at over half a million.  We write 30-40 feature stories a year (our columns are published bi-weekly).  Our feature stories include recomendations on what to do, where to stay, and where to eat - as well as our review of the destination as a whole.

In addition to the stories being printed in military newspapers, we also publish them on this website, as well as on multiple military websites and blogs that we partner with (click here for recent list).  We also promote the feature stories through various social media outlets.  To pitch us a story topic, invite us for a FAM tour, or to invite us to visit your place of business, email us at erica@guidetomilitarytravel.com or click here.  We are currently looking for destinations to feature in 2010.
