Happy Holidays!

Hey Big Thinkers! Just a quick heads-up that things will be very quiet around here for the next couple weeks. While I may post a couple of quick items (depending on the news), I don’t have anything in the regular content queue until after January 1.

In the meantime, you might want to check out my look at the top 14 trends for 2014 as voted by you, the top 10 marketing tips of the year, its companion piece: the top 10 travel marketing tips of 2013, the 3 trends shaping hotel Internet marketing and e-commerce in 2014, and these 3 steps for digital marketing success in 2014.

I hope you all have a very healthy and happy holiday season, and a wonderful, prosperous New Year!
