Heard Here First!They sound familiar because they've come to be widely accepted by the travel and technology industries, or they have been proven right over time.  You heard them here first in any case.  Here are just a few of the predictions, forecasts, and strategic assessments I've made over the years in print that gave you early warning of what was going to happen--if you were reading these pages.  Often you would have had five or ten years to plan and make adjustments to your business or technology position.
