April 17 - 19, 2009
TravelTalkRADIO heads to
New Orleans for the
French Quarter Fest
Voted Locals Favorite!

The French Quarter in New Orleans is notorious (in a good way!) for its world class restaurants. With the 26th Annual French Quarter Festival quickly approaching (April 17-19), we wanted to introduce you to Aynsley Fein LeBlanc, who (along with her dad and his brother) runs one of our very favorite restaurants in all of New Orleans.

We also want to let you in on another little secret: The French Quarter Festival is the hands down favorite among local New Orleanians. Forget that crazy Mardi Gras (at least ‘till next year) and take the whole family to the French Quarter Festival. Here you’ll find endless booths of food with samplings from NOLA’s many fine restaurants, 250 hours of free, live music onstage, plus Bourbon Street-style beverages at every turn. Add some fantastic American history and architecture from Europe, all served up by some of the best people on earth, and you are bound to have a ball. This is a very deserving destination and event for your tourism dollar. Join us there for the FQF as we'll be doing a live broadcast of TravelTalkRADIO from Jackson Square on Sunday, April 19th. Don’t miss this one!

ROY GRAFF

Director, China Contact


Back to Top

OK, we all know that China is becoming (or already is) the 800 pound gorilla in the world’s economic “room”, but how do we make friends and even do business with this rather mysterious and powerful giant? Meet Roy Graff who speaks business level Mandarin Chinese fluently. Roy has made his career in travel and tourism business development with an emphasis on China. He has a deep understanding of China's culture and business practices developed from academia, public and private sector work since 1994. 

 

To do business with the big gorilla, Roy says  that an understanding of the concept of guanxi is one of the most important keys. This is the Chinese tradition of building a legitimate business relationship through personalized networks of influence and social relationships. Roy is a true expert in the field and shares some insight into the important role that guanxi plays as well as other basic tenets for successfully doing business in China.

What’s the one piece of technology everybody wears for hours and hours on end these days? The obvious answer is iPods or cell phones, but the fact of the matter is that headphones are almost constantly with us to listen to and communicate with nearly every electronic device we own. We are talking hands free here, people! Here’s a great story about a tiny little company that started as a hearing aid manufacturer. Add some award winning, innovative technology, and a few years later you have AblePlanet, a giant in the noise-canceling headphone business with a huge range of cutting-edge products in stores like Best Buy, Costco and even Wal-Mart (the coup de gras of retail product placement). Oh yes, and they are hiring right now. This is an American business success story beyond belief.
