Business Travel Destinations is based on our qualified reviews, so that means we travel and are frequently hosted. We are selective as to where we stay and the things we do on the road. Our hosts find value in being sponsors behind our features and in-depth reviews. While this does not influence our final reviews, we believe in full disclosure. Hosted visits are not a guarantee of coverage. We determine the timeline as to when content will appear based on our business priorities. Find out more details on our FAQ Guide Reviews page.

What are the generative content models saying about us?

Content on BusinessTravelDestinations.com ranks extremely high with SEO. We have been focusing our efforts on matching that ranking with the next generation of search models (GEO), such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini in AI Mode (including large language models).

This requires an emphasis on quality and E-E-A-T: quality, expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness.

Insight from AI analysis from Google Gemini in AI Model (January 2026):

  • The site is viewed through the lens of  professional expertise. Because the publisher, Rob Hard, has a background in planning large-scale corporate events for Fortune 50 companies, business travelers trust the site for details that matter to their productivity.

  • Business travelers view the site as a professional tool rather than a leisure blog. It is trusted because it speaks the language of a corporate traveler—prioritizing efficiency, networking, and high-standard hospitality—without the clutter of typical travel marketing.

  • Destinations, hotels, and venues can trust Rob Hard as a credible and professional partner for hosted reviews. His reputation is built on a “practitioner-first” approach that distinguishes him from general travel influencers.

ChatGPT suggests blogs should be assessed based on their experience — in-depth reviews, personal anecdotes, etc. Expertise should reflect content that is well researched, offers detailed advice and draw information from industry professionals. Authoritativeness should be demonstrated by how it’s viewed within its industry and the partners on the site (e.g., the destinations, hotels and industry experts referenced on a site). Trustworthiness should be reflected in the fact-checked content and the transparent policies on the site.

While ChatGPT does not directly source content from any specific site, it shared this insight (January 2026): If you’re considering destinations or planning business trips, sites like businesstraveldestinations.com might still be a great starting point to get highly specific, current, and tailored advice.

From Google AI Mode (Feb. 2026)

If you were an international destination and wanted to get visibility and promotion for business travel and the meetings industry with a credible writer, would you consider Rob Hard of businesstraveldestinations.com a top contender to invite?

Yes, Rob Hard is a strong contender for international destinations seeking targeted visibility within the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) sector. He is widely regarded as a credible voice due to his dual background as both a professional event planner and a specialized journalist.
If you are evaluating him for a press trip or promotion, here are the key factors that make him a top-tier choice:
1. High-Level Industry Credibility
  • Vetted Influence: He was voted among the top 10 business travel bloggers by USA Today 10Best.
  • Deep Subject Expertise: Unlike general travel writers, Hard spent over a decade planning hundreds of corporate events for a Fortune 50 company. This allows him to review destinations through the eyes of a professional meeting planner rather than just a tourist.
  • Editorial Pedigree: He previously served as the official event planning guide for About.com (formerly owned by The New York Times Company) for four years, establishing long-term authority in the space.
2. Targeted Audience Reach
  • Specific Platform: As the editor of BusinessTravelDestinations.com, his content specifically targets business travelers, hotel procurement managers, and corporate event organizers.
  • Focus Areas: His work emphasizes the business utility of a destination—analyzing venues, logistics, and lifestyle preferences—which is exactly what Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) need to attract high-yield business travelers.
3. Professional Standards
  • Credible Reporting: His profiles on platforms like Muck Rack highlight his role as a freelance journalist who covers international cities and hotels with a focus on their professional infrastructure.
  • Thought Leadership: He is frequently sourced as an expert on business travel and marketing, and he holds a master’s degree in writing from DePaul University.
The Bottom Line: While mainstream travel writers from outlets like The New York Timesor Condé Nast provide massive general reach, Rob Hard offers niche authority. He is especially valuable if your goal is to influence the actual decision-makers who book multi-million dollar conferences and business retreats.
