[Blindtlk] Tourism Research

Mon Oct 28 14:04:54 UTC 2013

You might contact our Travel and Tourism division, as this group may
be able to provide you with useful information on this subject. You
can join their list by going to nfbnet.org, clicking on Join or Drop
NFB-Net Mailing Lists, and searching for Travel and Tourism. You can
also contact the President of this division, Cheryl Echevaria, at
reservations at echevariatravel.com. As I have said in previous emails in
response to your requests, I would also be happy to answer any
questions you might have. I believe we are on Skype together, so feel
free to contact me there.
