automatically pick
up and display
current travel and
tourism news stories
and related content
that have been
posted at the
Mochila site by
other media members
from around the
world. The travel
news
stories auto-rotate as
more
current articles and
content are added to
Mochila
by ours various member
publishers. The
beauty of this is
that since
TravelTalkMEDIA
is also a
contributing member
of Mochila, we can
easily upload
our current
newsletters, press
releases, videos,
audio files, etc. to
Mochila for
immediate distribution
to our other media
members worldwide."
Peartree added that,
“We now have the
ability to develop a
wide range of
syndication
partnerships
and offer our
content for even
broader global
redistribution
through our member
media partners.”
“As a result of
our working
partnership with
Mochila,
TravelTalkMEDIA
is now uniquely
positioned to
bring the latest
breaking news in
travel and
tourism to
industry
insiders and
seasoned
travelers
worldwide,” said TravelTalkMEDIA's
CEO,
Sandy
Dhuyvetter.
“TravelTalkNEWS
provides an
innovative,
online newsfeed
that is freely
accessible
without cost or
subscription
because it is
advertising-supported.
This
allows us to
serve up the
world’s best and
most current
travel news and
content while
generating
revenue from
highly relevant
commercial
messages. Most
of all, this is
a great way for
us to widely
redistribute our
TV and radio
programming as
well as our
newsletters and
press releases,” added
Ms. Dhuyvetter.
Chairman and CTO
of Mochila,
Benjamin Chen,
noted that, “We
are very excited
to be working
with Sandy as she continues to
expand her
TravelTalk
brand. We are
also grateful
for her
developmental
support as she
and her team
tested and
evaluated our
Mochila product
before it was
rolled out to
the public.
Sandy’s
technical
expertise
coupled with her
international
recognition as a
travel expert
and media
personality has
really made this
a perfect match
for us. We are
delighted to
have
TravelTalkMEDIA

most important
contributors and

agreement as
being “a
partnership
allowing us to
provide near
real-time
travel industry
news via the Web
supported by an
ad model that is
a unique
win-win-win for
our visitors and
our advertisers.
This is a unique
and very
powerful
combination of
rich, relevant
content and
targeted
commercial
messages that
can be accessed
on demand.
