WASHINGTON, DC (Oct 3, 2006) � With online travel
purchasing continuing to scale at a feverish pace, the new TIG Global Special
Report examines the increasingly important challenge travel executives
face in managing their invaluable brands, trademarks, and other intellectual
property in the dynamic digital landscape. As brand infringement
continues to impact the travel industry, TIG Global, the leading interactive
marketing company for the travel industry, has partnered with online risk
management expert Cyveillance and the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association
International (HSMAI) Foundation to provide executives with a legal desk
reference for simplifying online brand protection.
The new report, �Profits and Pitfalls in Online Marketing: A Legal Desk Reference for Travel Executives,� provides travel professionals with practical instruction and easy reference checklists for navigating evolving laws in the online environment. The report follows on the success of the extremely influential 2005 TIG Global Special Report, �Demystifying Distribution.� �Travel is the single largest category of electronic commerce,� said Trip Schneck, president of TIG Global. �Competing in the online channel creates new challenges, and even something as simple as a photo choice on a travel website has legal ramifications. �Profits and Pitfalls� shares the expertise TIG Global has gained through work with hundreds of travel companies to help others in the industry leverage the online channel and proactively manage risks associated with the broad use of their trademarks and other intellectual property on the Internet. It is the first comprehensive analysis and solution guide for travel marketers to navigate the still shifting sands of online marketing and asset protection online.� Practitioners will learn how seemingly simple website and marketing decisions touch on complex legal topics, and how to proactively manage content and brands to avoid legal challenges. Topics include:
�As a leading provider of risk monitoring and management solutions, Cyveillance works with our customers to protect their brands on a daily basis,� said Todd Bransford, vice president of marketing for Cyveillance. �This report provides companies with a comprehensive evaluation of current online issues and legal guidance on how to protect against brand infringements. This should be a �must read� for any company doing business online.� �We are thrilled to participate with TIG Global in yet another groundbreaking publication that will help travel marketers leverage the online channel to maximize revenue and profits for their hotels and other businesses,� said Robert A. Gilbert, CEO and president of HSMAI. �Our 7,000 hotel and hospitality members worldwide are increasingly focused on these issues. Many travel companies are doing very innovative marketing online, but they often operate at risk because they are not experts in the legal issues. This guide will allow them to leverage the marketplace and avoid costly errors.� �Profits and Pitfalls� is authored by Mike Heilbronner, Esq., of IdeaLegal, Sue Heilbronner of TIG Global, and Cindy Estis Green of The Estis Group.
