A FEW ESSENTIALS
EXACTLY WHO ARE WE?
The Traveltruth Media Group is owned by Churchill & Turen Ltd., one of the nation’s most respected luxury vacation planners. We have been in business for 39 years, and we have won more “World’s Best Travel Specialists” Awards than any other travel firm in the United States.
As with any “online claims,” we urge you to check us out thoroughly. You will discover that we have been named the Top Producing Advisors in the $34 Billion Worldwide Virtuoso Organization a total of four times.
Our Managing Director is the Senior Editor at Travel Weekly, the travel industry’s most trusted source for news.
We have devoted the past four decades to providing worldwide luxury travel planning to clients in 46 States on a “No Fee” Fiduciary basis. One of our Media Sites, www.traveltruth.com, for instance, is totally devoted to truthful Q&A on a wide variety of travel-related subjects. Our sites are open-source and available to all.
WHY DO WE FEEL THERE IS A NEED FOR STILL ANOTHER TRAVEL SITE?
Let’s imagine that a bus pulled up in front of your house and you and your friends were all driven to the largest shopping mall in the state. We get out and we approach the first 1000 people we see with one simple survey question:
“Based on available professional criteria, which cruise line is currently rated the best in the world”?
How many of the 1000 people we surveyed do you suppose would know? We would guess no more than 2 or 3 – if that. This, simply stated, is why we feel the need to talk about travel and the real top-ranked products in a way that is both truthful and unique.
HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR RANKINGS AND YOUR OTHER CONSUMER TRAVEL SITES? WHO ARE YOUR SPONSORS?
We do not earn any income from any aspect of our growing number of consumer-dedicated travel websites. Our ratings are based on our own independent inspections, reports from our specially-trained team of CSI Inspectors, and the best quality evaluations available worldwide from both the consumer and industry trade press in the United States and Abroad.
Our rankings are updated regularly to include new products, policies, and product enhancements. Cruise lines, tour operators, and hotels do not know when they are being inspected and we do not accept advertising or compensation in conjunction with our product ratings. All evaluations originate from sources known to us. All are filtered for accuracy. We do not use materials from self-appointed “critics” and we never use AI-generated materials.
We are told that ours are the only evaluation sites online that do not accept advertising in any form, promotional dollars, or free travel in exchange for kind words. (That is the formula used for 90% of the “reviews” the consumer sees online.) You cannot book anything on our sites. Ours is a highly successful luxury travel consultancy and we have absolutely no interest in trying to convince you to leave any professional agent with whom you enjoy a professional relationship. Quite frankly, we don’t need the business and you would have to reach out to us to see if the fit was good.
