Let me start by saying to the loyal fans of my blog that I am not abandoning the topic of distribution. It is just that I find that it is a bit limiting for me, as my true passion is much broader than travel distribution and in fact, even much broader than travel itself.
But having said that, I have been in the travel industry since 1978, nearly 35 years. The
last 18 years of that has been as a strategic consultant with a decided

So, I am changing the name of the blog from Distribution Solutionz to Think Tank. While I will still focus primarily on innovation in the travel industry, I will also talk about broader topics that have applicability in other industries.

Welcome. And stay tuned.
