An open letter to our Where To Go Next subscribers

Almost a decade ago we began publishing Where To Go Next, this travel e-newsletter for avid travelers in the U.S., Canada and Europe. At the same time, we launched WhereToGoNext.com, a website dedicated to news and features on all things travel.

The e-newsletter garnered much press and became a most-read for seasoned travelers and the travel industry. And was well supported by public relations and hospitality industry companies who used Where To Go Next to spread their travel news.

Now, nine years later, we have decided to focus more of our energies on another of our travel companies, Provence Escapes, small-group week-long personally guided tours in France.

Which means that effective December 21, 2012, Where To Go Next, as a newsletter will cease publication; our WhereToGoNext.com website will continue to bring stories and information travelers need and want.

We are so grateful for our newsletter subscribers and our friends in the travel industry for their loyalty and support.

We hope you'll continue to visit WhereToGoNext.com for travel news, information and tips.

It's been a fun and happy ride. Glad you could join us.

With much thanks,

Rich Steck & Judi Janofsky
Co-Editors, Where To Go Next
