Looking for a wordsmith? A pretentious noun I know, but I may be able to help you. I'm a travel journalist of 30 years standing but wordsmith better describes my skills. Tourism is my business. Writing about it, my stock in trade.

My articles and photographs have been published in over 100 newspapers, guide books and magazines and I've travelled to over 170 destinations. Those are my credentials as a travel journalist, but I also offer the following :

• Tourism text (brochures, websites, flyers, newsletters etc.)
• Tourism text translations (lure those clients from abroad... .)
• Tourism product assessment (the good, the bad and the don't even try!)
• Tourism videos (story ideas, scripts, voice-overs)
• Tourism seminars (how to work with the media - natch!)
• Tourism reports (country profiles, niche markets)

Small business is my expertise - after all, I'm a small business owner myself - but I've also worked (alone and as a team) with large organisations, as well as local, provincial and regional governments.

If you're stuck for words or need a helping hand to grow your business, please get in touch with me at helga@tourismwordsmith.com

I look forward to working with you!
