Travel Website Allows Visitors to Create Their Own Personalized Wine Tours
The Travel Website, Winerybound, Assists Visitors in Creating Their Own Personalized Wine Tours, Integrating Multiple Wineries, Restaurants, Lodgings and Directions Into One Detailed Travel PlanTuesday 19 June 2007
MERCER ISLAND, Wash. | The unique travel website, Winerybound (www.winerybound.com), allows visitors to create their own wine tours. Wineries, restaurants, and lodging facilities across the United States list their services on Winerybound’s website and visitors can access that information free of charge to create their own unique wine tours.
"After extensive research and testing, we found that people wanted a better way to plan their vacations,” says the site's founder, Heather Ann Truchot. “Winerybound is a great tool for learning about wine regions and wineries across the United States. With the knowledge they’ve learned, visitors can then plan out their own personalized wine tours.”
Users browse more than 15,000 restaurants, lodging facilities, and wineries, and add destinations through the "My Getaway" feature. With the Google API, Winerybound has created a product that gives travelers the ability to plot their wine tour by providing maps of wine regions in all 50 states. The interface then maps their personalized trip, connecting each stop along the way.
“This is very exciting since the growth of wineries and wine-related tourism has increased greatly in the United States,” says Heather Ann Truchot. “Most people don’t realize how close in proximity they are to a local winery. Winerybound helps them make the initial discovery and makes it easy for visitors to become passionate about the wine lifestyle.”

How Hotel Guests Perceive the Fairness of Differential Room Pricing
View publication »
When customers perceived hotel revenue management practices to be fair, they are more likely to be satisfied with the hotel and are more likely to return to that hotel in the future. In this survey of 815 people, we examined the effects of three factors on the respondents' assessment of the fairness of hotel rate policies. Those three factors were familiarity with the practice, provision of information about the practice, and the brand class of the hotel. Of those three, we found that familiarity with a pricing practice was far and away the most important factor affecting perceived fairness. The implication is that revenue managers should focus their efforts on increasing guests' familiarity with their pricing practices. (PDF Document)
