What
makes StMoritzTravelPlanner.com (SMTP)
special?
1. True Travel Guidance,
not just information. There's already way
too much travel information,
especially on the Internet. What people
need is guidance, which is information
and opinion designed for decision assistance,
that is, to help them make decisions
about where to go, what to do, and how to
spend
your precious travel budget.
2. Personal Travel Guidance: it's all
done by one guy: me.
Writing, photos, layout, HTML encoding,
cartography,
answering the phone, responding to email,
making the coffee, taking out the trash.
There is
nobody else.
That's the beauty of modern technology:
a job that once needed a large publishing
staff
can now be done by one person, which
is optimal because the best travel
guidance is personal.
From Baedeker to Eugene Fodor to Arthur
Frommer to Rick Steves. It always has
been.
3. It's all done "by hand:" no
slick database, no tortured over-design.
It's not like a hi-tech machine or a
computer game, it's like a book.
This "hand-work" is
why SMTP is easy to navigate: I
personally plan and implement the links you
might need and the pages you'll want
to read
next,
and set
up the navigation accordingly. It's difficult
and expensive for a team of researchers and
editors to do that with a database,
much easier and more efficient for one
person with expert knowledge.
4.
It's designed for you, the traveler, not
for advertisers. Sure, it's got to pay
its way,
but YOU
and your trip are the reason SMTP exists.
I really love researching trips and presenting
travel info, and I love the responses
I get from travelers. If
I help
you,
I figure I'll succeed, so I don't need
distracting banner ads that flash, or
any other dancing
baloney. I hope that you'll support the
businesses that support SMTP.
5. It's innovative:
because I do everything myself, I can
try new and different ways
of presenting travel information, and
make finding that information easier
and more
fun for you. I've spent decades
working to make travel information comprehensive
and
comprehensible to travelers of all types. I've got definite ideas about how
to do it, and new ways (like Optimized
Hypertext™),
and there's no editor or webmaster to
tell me that I've got to do it the way
everybody
else has always done it.
I've been roaming and writing professionally
for
nearly 40 years. Ever
since 1970
when I published my first guidebook,
I've dreamed
of being
able to publish my own travel guidance
information in my own way in a direct
two-way dialogue
with travelers.
My Travel Planners are the fulfillment of that dream.
