Travel Weekly Blog

The travel industry needs to work harder at lobbying, according to a story that we recently carried on travelweekly.co.uk.

The Travel Weekly Blog can't help with that (at least not right now...) but here's a natty way of keeping up with travel-related speeches and debates in the Houses of Parliament.

Head to Theyworkforyou.com, a site which is designed to keep us in touch with what our MPs are up to. A noble enough goal in itself, but the site also features - here's the good bit - a keyword-driven email alert service.

That means you can sign up, register for keywords like 'travel' or 'tourism', and read what the Commons and the Lords are saying about the industry from the comfort of your inbox. It's free, and all you need to disclose is your email address.

We're going to sign up here and see how useful the service is, so look out for updates. If you try it too we'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
