Southwest Bike Travel-Zine launches new Winter Edition
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Albuquerque, NM. - Southwest Bike Travel-Zine Inc., the world’s first Internet motorcycle travel magazine covering the Southwest, Rocky Mountains and Mexico, announces the launch of their new Winter Edition beginning January 1, 1998. Motorcycle touring is a year-round event for SWBTZ. "As we move into the second half of our travel season, we will be packing our bags and heading towards beautiful Arizona," said Steve Roe, publisher and co-founder of the Internet magazine. " We’re here to provide our world wide readers with the best destination points in our part of the country."
Southwest Bike Travel-Zine has logged in more than 40,000 visitors from over 65 countries. The readers access the travel web site to obtain information on everything from scenic routes to the best food and lodging in the area. With the assistance of the interactive maps, readers can print out travel plans and can even book travel reservations through On-Line services provided by Travelocity.
Travelocity, a travel reservations web site, was recently ranked as the Web's Most Popular Travel Service in two independent studies by Plog Research and CIC Research. In addition, Travelocity handles more than 40 percent of the world's electronic air travel reservations.
"It has been outstanding past six months" said co-publisher SWBTZ James Morrison. "People from all over the world visited our site to obtain the latest information on destination spots, travelogues, maps and chat bulletin board services. Over the first part of our season, SWBTZ focused much of the travel content on the northern and central Rockies. Our new Winter Edition is the time of year we will be seeking out the exciting guest ranches, ghost towns and desert cities of Arizona."
According to Frank Del Monte, president of the International MotorCycle Tourism Association and owner of Western States Motorcycle Tours. "Arizona has always been known to host winter visitors, those travelers fleeing the cold winters to escape to warm sunny Arizona . This is an excellent time of the year to discover some of the best touring that Arizona has to offer. We’re excited that publications like SWBTZ are on the Internet providing international travelers with much needed tour information. Travelers can rent motorcycles, access tours, and even book accommodations via the Internet."
The International MotorCycle Touring Association with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, is an organization comprised of motorcycle rental companies, tour operators, tour packages, travel agents, and other motorcycle tourism related companies. The IMcTA promotes all aspects of the motorcycle industry and tourism related businesses.
In closing, Roe and Morrison encourage readers to check out their Winter Edition at www.swbike.com and from the Rockies to the Yucatan, experience the most scenic destination spots on this planet.
