I've noticed in both my business and leisure travels I have used a hotel’s concierge service more and more. Even as booking travel is so easily done on my iPhone apps, I find myself heading down to the lobby for advice or help to arrange spur-of-the-moment
Last Tuesday, Global Traveler publisher and CEO Francis X. Gallagher and I attended the kick-off event for Tourism Ireland’s new ad campaign, Fill Your Heart with Ireland. We arrived well before the start of the event to interview Brendan Griffin, Ireland’s Minister of State for
