Worst of BT June
We are distressed to report there will be no Best of BT this month. Budget Travel, for a while among our favorite travel magazines, has gone downhill fast in its June issue. We don’t know if this is new editor Nina Willdorf’s doing or if it’s due to the all-too-common budget cuts in the... »
Girlfriend Getaway Garbage
One day, a (male) marketing whippersnapper came up with a genius idea: Create a catchy name for a group of women going away together and sell it as its own travel niche. Hmm, what do women like to do? Why, shopping of course! And spa treatments! And arts and crafts! Don’t get us wrong –... »

While the name seems to be a bit of a misnomer (we don’t think what they report on is especially frugal), the fact is their writers do a very... »
