They're good folk too and I mean Clive no disrespect about their main site as it was probably made a few years ago when 'we' knew no better ;-) (I include myself in the 'we' as a fellow business owner) Hopefully Neil, you will help companies such Kon Tiki avoid hiring firms who 'market' them via blogs like this one: http://www.blogtext.org/TikiHutte/article/17447.html ...or even worse, this one: http://tikihutte.wordpress.com/ These are just 2 examples of a recent blog 'campaign' by the same 'marketing' company ;-) Neil, the DTW blog is a great case study on how to use blogging effectively.

However, I'd like to think that those travel companies which are a) successful and b) willing to open themselves up to the market like this have a good story to tell and I will have no trouble throwing myself into the task at hand. Thanks Mark

As you can see from that example you gave, Typepad was my first choice when I helped Discover the World set up their blogs a couple of years ago but I much prefer WP now. Please don't tell Clive his blogs look better than his main site. He's spent a lot of money on it! Hi Garri

The big challenge will be convincing potential clients that you're able to live, drink and eat the brand well enough so you can reflect their culture, passion, strategic goals, etc. Still, if it convinces some companies to climb into the blogosphere, it can only be a good thing.
