A guest blog
By: Allison Arruda
Abelow PR knows that staying on top of the news and keeping up with the latest industry trends is a top priority for all public relations agencies. With the holidays among us, consumer-buying patterns are likely to strike interest. No matter how small or large a person’s holiday budget, almost no one can pass up an amazing deal.

We’ve all seen some version of tourists on our trips. You can usually find large concentrations of them at Disney World, Cancun in March, and European landmarks during the summer. Traveling to these places typically means lineups, frustration, and minimal local culture. Continue reading
