 Bringing
media to your doorstep, we know that media coverage and quality exposure is
worth the wait...from the time a journalist visits a
destination until they craft their stories and get them
published. Creating excitement about a trip that is filled
with new adventures and clever story angles is what we are
known for.
Our company understands the relationship between
representing a destination and making media coverage come to life for
the writer. Knowing the ‘best kept secrets’ about a
particular area is what journalists want to experience and
we personally escort our writers throughout the journey.
Whether it’s a media visit for one night or an extended
in-depth stay, nothing is more rewarding than a warm
welcome, a fond farewell and knowing that there is more than
one story to be written!

“Participating
in your media tours are always the highlight and most
elegant of travel writer events for me. The Inns are
delightful; the tours educational and the pace easy.
Sampling the fantastic cuisine always means a couple of days
dieting when I get home. Your preparation, contact and
follow up material is a big help in putting articles
together. You are the consummate professional. Here's to
more Leigh Corts who make it easy, and fun, to be a travel
writer.”

"I always
look forward to working with Leigh Cort, especially when
that means spending time with her in person. She is not only
efficient, professional, and charming but goes out of her
way to cater to the needs of individual journalists. That is
a rare calling in the 21st century."

"Our trip
really was terrific! Alex and I agree that it was one of the
most pleasurable we have experienced thanks to the
professional way you put it all together; the behind the
scenes work that was evident in all the planned events that
went off so smoothly. The little surprises and extras were
truly appreciated. As the representative of the Inns of
Elegance, you did a grand job of providing us with insight,
information and the opportunity to meet all the hosts who
outdid themselves by extending to us their gracious
hospitality. I know that the journalists really appreciated
having some free time to do the things we considered
important to our particular needs. You made the whole
experience most comfortable and non-taxing."

"Leigh, you
were such a gracious host, with enormous energy and
perseverance. We were amazed by all of your efforts on our
trip to St. Augustine. Everything that you prepared was
perfect and memorable."

"Our 3-day
visit was the perfect mix of every element of a grand trip,
seasoned with just the right amount of meticulous details
and down time."
Kathy Dail, Mature Lifestyles |

"I’ve worked
with other PR professionals in the travel industry, but I’ve
not met one that understands their profession as well as
Leigh does. She left no detail unattended, from the welcome
packet with treasures related to the destination and had
organized activities that every writer was eager to attend.
She created a positive, compelling and educational light
where I walked away with more articles than I had
anticipated – a sign that an expert in the industry hosted
the trip."
Stephanie Moreland, Sarasota Radio, Global Web Magazine |

"I’ve
dedicated 15 years in the hospitality industry in media
relations, events and as admissions officer for Johnson &
Wales University Charleston. I understand the secrets of
successful public relations campaigns so I commend you not
only as a professional with a gifted eye for details but you
are a shining star! You give new definition to the Art of
Public Relations."

"It was an
outstanding media trip, perfectly orchestrated, where
activities take place when they are scheduled. Your care in
communicating the schedule to the journalists maximized our
time in your city; we all knew where we needed to be and at
what time. It’s a difficult task to bring together a diverse
group and put a program together that fills each individual
need, sending the writer home with exactly the right
information to get the job done. You do this with grace,
high energy and boundless enthusiasm."
