Green Travel Merits Attention of Major TV Show ...

Today I received a phone call from the assistant producer of a television show, "World's Greatest," which plans to feature a green travel destination in mid-January and will be shooting November 1-15. Here at Chez Sven, we feel honored to be included in the green businesses under consideration. I congratulated the producer on having decided to feature green travel. Unfortunately, we were not able to accept the offer. November is not the ideal time period to film in Wellfleet with the fall wind whipping sand along the beach and days at their shortest. Nor is our garden at its most spectacular, dressed in seaweed for the winter and dotted here and there with fallen leaves from the maple tree out front. What's more, this opportunity came with a price tag that surpasses the budget of any seasonal bed & breakfast with only three rooms ....$9000! With much regret, I turned him down. But, it is definitely a good sign that green travel has entered the mainstream and now interests major television networks ...
