A New Travel Site in a Category of Its Own

Author: Brian Cecil

A new travel website is available on the Internet called Business Travel Fun. It is a fledgling travel site dedicated to providing unbiased and independent reviews of restaurants, bars, and other places of interest for the weary business traveler. What does this mean? Well, it’s simple. The weary business traveler, like me, often does not have time to research the many towns and cities they find themselves in for a place to eat or to relax. They often get to a destination they know nothing about, sometimes late, and all they have to choose from on the internet is your basic commercial mega-sites that list restaurants and bars in the area. If you’re lucky, someone may have left an opinion on the site which may lead you to or away from a place. You do not know if there is a financial interest behind the person writing the opinion, and more times than not, there is nothing of value there. Business Travel Fun is written by a traveler for the traveler with straight shooting no holes barred opinions, and no ownership or financial interest in any of the places reviewed.

Why would a busy business traveler spend the time to do this? The main reason is this - I know what it is like to travel to a place that is unfamiliar. I search the Yellow Pages or the Internet for a restaurant or a bar only to find a listing of names, but no way of telling if they are anything I’d be interested in. Then when I do decide on a place, many times it turns out not being worth the trek out because the service or the food was sub par. The purpose of Business Travel Fun is to fill this gap by providing trustworthy unbiased advice on a place before you get in your car and go there. You can be sure that I do not take bribes, and I do not announce myself before I go to a place. That way I get regular treatment and can write an unbiased independent review.

But Business Travel Fun provides a little more than just an opinion about a place. Each review displays a list of highlights that captures offerings like live entertainment, pool tables or video games, NTN Trivia, and karaoke. So at a glance you can see what they have there to do. Additionally, each review has a rating table that rates each place on different criteria. This way you can see what a regular guy thinks about the place, and you can make an informed decision on whether or not you want to go there or try something else. Lets face it, you’re already away from home and probably tired and hungry – who wants to go out to a place and come back unhappy because it didn’t have what you were looking for, or worse the food or service was terrible?

Business Travel Fun is written primarily for the business traveler, but it is also useful to anyone just looking for a fair and honest opinion about a place in their area too. We also just implemented a Forum where anyone can comment on an article, write a review of their own, chat about anything else, and if you happen to be a restaurant or bar owner that received a review, you can provide a rebuttal or comment if you wish.

You are cordially invited to visit Business Travel Fun. Please stop by the forum and let us know what you think.
