PHOENIX, June 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Best Western International, the World's Biggest Hotel Family®, announced today the launch of the brand's newly redesigned blog youmustbetrippin.com.
First launched in 2008, the blog boasts contributors ranging in expertise from business to family travel and more niche content that showcases the brand's affinity partnerships with brands like Harley-Davidson® and MiLB.com.
The new design features a more modern, distinctly visual layout with the ability for the content to be resized intuitively based on the device used by the reader.
"Mobile web traffic continues to rise, so it makes sense to deliver content that can be optimized for each of our audience's devices," said Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Best Western International. "With the redesign, the site will better serve up the valuable content of our contributors and allows us to expand our content offerings."
Fans and followers of the 68-year-old hotel brand have driven nearly one million unique page views to the blog since its inception six years ago. The brand continues to see increased traffic and engagement on the site with the addition of new and diverse contributors such as Manny Ruiz, founder of Hispanicize and crowd-sourced content from social media.
