We often receive emails asking us questions about our Latest
Travel News, and our free Latest Travel News Daily Email, so below
we have taken the most popular questions and tried to answer them
as best we can.
On 27 September 2021,
a number of our subscribers started receiving the travel
news email in a new html format via Revue. This was the first time
since 1997 we had sent out the daily travel news email in a format
other than plain text. While it may have looked nice, we suspended the trial
at the beginning of April as we, and quite a number of our
subscribers, were unhappy with the service
provided.
Our daily travel news email is still being sent out in pain
text format, however, so if you
are not receiving that email please just send us a message and we will
check our system and add
you manually if required.
We do however strongly recommend you to subscribe to our RSS Feed
instead as it gives you total control, avoids all potential issues
with email and is extremely easy to set up. Please read more
about how to use the
Free RSS
Travel News Feed, if you are not sure how to set it up.
=====
Q. Do you offer an RSS Feed of
your travel news?
A. Yes! For more info
see:
Free RSS
Travel News Feed - How to use and
if you would like to add the headlines to your website or channel
then see:
Travel News RSS Feed and Syndication.
Q. Can I subscribe to the RSS
Feed to receive the daily travel news email in Outlook?
A. Yes, and it is very easy to do.
Right-click the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook and select Add a New
RSS Feed, enter the URL of our RSS Feed (highlighted below) and then click Add.
Another way in Outlook is to click the File tab,
click Account Settings and then choose Account Settings. Select
the RSS Feeds tab and click New. Copy and paste the url of the RSS
Feed into the box and
click Add.
Q. Do you get my details if I
subscribe via RSS Feed?
A. No, and that is one of the really great things about RSS.
You can subscribe and unsubscribe at any time and we will never
know. Companies do not like it so much as they want your details
to be able to build a database and demographics, many so they can
sell. We don't care about that, we just want you to visit the site
and read the travel news on a daily basis.
Q. How else can I use the RSS Feed
you supply?
A. Please see:
Free RSS
Travel News Feed - How to use and
Travel News RSS Feed and Syndication.
Q. If I subscribe to your
latest travel news daily email
service what will you do with my email
address?
A. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us and we can
guarantee that not only do we not sell your email, or pass it on
to third parties we, ourselves, only use it to send you the Latest
Travel News Daily Email. You will not receive any other emails
from us.
Q. How often is the news sent
out by email?
A. The Latest Travel News Daily Email is sent out five times
per week, Monday to Friday.
Q. Sometimes I do not receive
five per week - why is this?
A. Sometimes you may not receive five emails per week due to
different reasons. Perhaps one day there was very little news, and
therefore, rather than send out the Latest Travel News Daily Email
with just a couple of articles, we prefer to keep hold of them and
load them into the following days news email. Another reason is
sometimes the email may just get lost, or stopped at the server
for some reason, we have no control over this.
Q. How easy is it to subscribe?
A. It could not be easier. We do not ask you any questions,
all you have to do is enter your email address into the subscribe
box on our
Latest Travel News page and hey presto - that is it!
Q. How easy is it to
unsubscribe?
A. As easy as it is to subscribe! There are quite a few ways
to unsubscribe. Simply reply to the Latest
Travel News Daily Email with the word 'unsubscribe' in the subject
line of the email and we will take immediate action. There is also
a link in the email which you can click to unsubscribe too.
Q. I have not subscribed but I
still receive your email - why is this?
A. We do not send unsolicited emails, so if you are receiving
our Latest Travel News Daily Email then either you, or possibly
someone else, has subscribed on your behalf. This can happen when
someone leaves a company and their email is being forwarded to
you. If you do not want to
continue receiving the email simply unsubscribe as described
above.
Q. What format is your latest
travel news daily email in?
A. Since 27 September 2021 a number of our subscribers will
have started receiving the travel news email in a new html format
via Revue. This trial was suspended in April 2022 as we were
extremely unhappy with the service. Since 1997 the daily email
service was sent out using plain text. A number of our subscribers
are still receiving it in that format today.
Q. Who reads your travel news?
A8. Most leading travel journalists around the world
receive it, which is in itself, a sign of how up to date and valid
the news articles are. Senior management within hotels, agents,
airlines etc, education bodies, consumers and government bodies
from around the world and related to tourism all read our latest
travel news.
Q. Is the news and email free?
A. Yes.
Q. I find the service useful
and would like to give you a tip / donate some money, how do I do
that?
A. You can donate money at any time. Any money donated, no matter how small, is enormously
appreciated and helps us to not only stay motivated, but to stay
in business too. THANK YOU!
Q. Do I have to enter my email
address each time I want to read the news?
A. Not at all. You only need to enter your email address the
one time to subscribe after that you will start receiving our
Latest Travel News Daily Email and there is no need to re-enter
your email address.
Q. What should I do if I
change email addresses or prefer the news to be sent to a
different address?
A. If you change email or would simply like the news to be
sent to a different address from the one you subscribed with
simply send us an email and tell us: a) the email address you
subscribed with and b) what you would like it changed to. We
suggest that you put the words "Change Email" into the subject
line to help us.
Q. Are your news articles easy
to print out (printer friendly)?
A. Yes, all the travel news articles are on their own
individual page with special code which ensures that when you
print the article you will receive only the article and not the
whole page.
Q. How do I find articles on a
particular subject?
A. Best thing to do is conduct a
search and try to find the articles that way, or use one of
the many search engines. Still no luck
after that, then
contact us
and we will try to help.
Q. I am looking for some news
from 2002 - do you keep archives ?
A. Yes, we do not delete any of our travel news, and articles
from past years can all be found either through our
search function or from our
travel news archives.
Q. How up to date is your news
?
A. Our travel news is among the most up to date in the world.
Some of the articles sent out in our Latest Travel News Daily
Email are only minutes old, and others are rarely more than 24
hours old.
Q. I have some friends and
colleagues that would find this service useful - what should I do
?
A. Either ask them to subscribe or send us their email
address.
Q. Can I subscribe to the daily travel news with WhatsApp?
A. Not currently. The service was closed to new subscribers
on 24 January 2022.
Q. I have another
question which is not answered above what should I do?
A. Please
