The Travel Detective
With Peter Greenberg

"A tourist sees a destination, a traveler experiences it."
- Peter Greenberg

As American traveling has increased, industry surveys reveal growing dissatisfaction among travelers of every age, income and education level.

Emmy-winning writer and producer Peter Greenberg, host of THE TRAVEL DETECTIVE, offers you tips on how to find the secret air fares that can save you hundreds of dollars; which coach seats on which planes are better than first class; the secret rule to know to avoid being delayed; how to negotiate the best hotel room deal; and much more. Accessible and entertaining, THE TRAVEL DETECTIVE presents information and tools to make every trip an affordable
pleasure.

Emmy-winning writer and producer Peter Greenberg has dedicated many years - and airline miles - to understanding and improving the travel industry. A travel correspondent for The Today Show, Newsweek, Oprah and more, Greenberg now shares his insider knowledge with public television viewers. In THE TRAVEL DETECTIVE, Greenberg uncovers the mystery behind hidden fares and industry secrets, allowing viewers to save both time and money on their next vacation.

Pulling from the comprehensive information in his New York Times best-seller, The Travel Detective, Greenberg illuminates audiences to the pitfalls found in brochures, hotel rates, e-tickets and checking baggage. His simple explanations and expertise transform novice tourists into savvy travelers.

As American traveling has increased, industry surveys reveal growing dissatisfaction among travelers of every age, income and education level. "A tourist," says Greenberg "is a victim waiting to happen." The travel world is full of incomprehensible rules, but there are many ways to finesse them.

Accessible and entertaining, THE TRAVEL DETECTIVE presents information and tools to make every trip an affordable pleasure. Greenberg translates his years of experience into an enlightening and entertaining presentation where he educates his audiences about the "new rules" of travel.
