ATLANTA BUSINESS TRAVEL CONSULTANT CHRIS MCGINNIS LAUNCHES WEBSITE FULL OF INSIDER-ONLY TRAVEL INFORMATION AND ADVICE -- THE TICKET PORTAL at www.travelskills.com/portal.htm 

Personalized for Atlanta-based business travelers

             Atlanta, GA – Need to check the weather in Chicago for an upcoming business trip?  Want to know if there are any parking spaces left at Hartsfield today?  Trying to decide whether to drive through traffic to the airport or take MARTA?  Wondering about the best way to earn or redeem your Delta SkyMiles? 

Savvy Atlanta-based business travelers have long known about Chris McGinnis’ indispensable advice as subscribers of his newsletter, THE TICKET.  Now, this information is not for insiders only. Starting now, any Internet user can access this kind of information and much more on THE TICKET PORTAL located at www.travelskills.com and by signing up for the free email version of THE TICKET newsletter.

THE TICKET PORTAL provides links to sites that matter most to Atlanta-based business travelers -- everything from airline, hotel and rental car reservation sites to traffic and weather reports, restaurant listings, even flower delivery and e-greetings for the traveler’s family.  McGinnis has personally researched and evaluated the multitudes of business travel sites available.  For every link on THE TICKET PORTAL, McGinnis has put his seal of approval, indicating that the information is helpful and the site navigation is fast and easy.

True to his reputation as a business traveler advocate, McGinnis keeps THE TICKET readers up to date on news of the industry: frequent flyer program changes, new planes, special airfares.  The newsletter is sent directly to the subscriber’s email box each month, chock full of news, commentary, information, advice and links.  Sign-ups are quick and easy, and best of all, free, at THE TICKET PORTAL site at www.travelskills.com.

“At one time I was logging over 100,000 miles a year as a management consultant. I realized then that there was a need for specialized business travel news and advice, and I became a crusader for the business travelers,” said McGinnis.  “THE TICKET PORTAL is really a culmination of more than ten years working in the travel industry, cultivating relationships with the key players and learning how to stay on top of the ever-changing environment.  I hope that people will find it a one-stop-shop for all their business travel information needs.”

McGinnis is a well-known industry expert and regularly appears on CNN and the Weather Channel, has authored two books on business travel and manages Travel Skills Group, a communications and consulting firm specializing in the business travel industry.  He writes a bi-weekly business travel column for the Atlanta Business Chronicle and previously penned a weekly column for the Atlanta Constitution for nine years.

            McGinnis’ articles on business travel are found regularly in Fortune, Conde Nast Traveler and Entrepreneur magazines.  His first book, 202 Tips Even the Best Business Travelers May Not Know was released in June 1994 and sold over 35,000 copies.  His second book, The Unofficial Business Traveler’s Pocket Guide (McGraw-Hill), was released in 1998 and continues to be Amazon.com’s number one selling business travel title.
