Tips from the T-List, the Book
Most of you will remember the T-List that I’ve started back in March of 2007. It never stopped growing since then. Jens Thraenhart wrote a summary of the *history* of the T-List to introduce the next project inspired by the T-List which is the book Tips from the T-List. Here is the story : Ground-breaking new book in online travel and tourism….
The book will be distributed at the first ever Canadian e-Tourism Strategy Conference, Canada-e-Connect. This is a collective work so you are more than welcome if you want to submit an article. Here is how to it :
Deadline for submission is September 30, 2007
1. Complete and fax back the following consent form to +1 604 648 9651 or email it to tlist@rezgo.com.
2. Send us three of your best posts. The editors will select one of these posts to appear in the book. The posts should be your own work and should be things like tips, observations, or helpful hints. Please do not send news items or trend oriented posts because these will become outdated very quickly. Concentrate on original thoughts, tips, best practices, etc. Please limit the piece to 300-500 words max.
3. Send us a good quality headshot (if you want it included).
4. Send us a good quality screenshot of your blog or website.
5. Send us a very brief bio of yourself, and the description of your blog
6. Send us your full name, address, phone and email so we can send you a copy of the book.

Hey Mathieu…this is a great initiative.
Quick question: 2 of three posts I’d like to submit are longer than 500 words. Should I just send in an edited version and link to the full post?

Chris, no doubt this is a great initiative. Stephen and Jens are the guys to congratulate for that. ; )
You can submit a post longer than 500 words. When it will be the time to choose, we will be in contact with you if we need it to be edited.
Yes, this was a great initiative! I did send in my entries but not a screenshot of my blog or a description of my blog, My Marrakesh. Can I still do this now?
Maryam, you can send what you have at tlist - - a t - -rezgo.com
Hi Mathieu,
The book is being sent out to the authors and anyone can download an e book version from tipsfromthetlist.com.
How are things going, we look forward to more postings from you.

I like to point you on another interesting book for the travel industry: Designing Emotions in Online Travel.
It is really a pity that travel companies focus to much on price and price alone. While evoking the right emotions at a travel website is a very interesting strategy. In our latest research we found out that by using the correct design, images and through the development of specific online applications they are able to sell more trips and increase the customer satisfaction.
