Travel planning
Boston
Need advice on sightseeing trips for the boss in Boston?
The John Hancock Tower is a great place to visit. There is an observation deck on one of the top floors. The North End is a great place to walk around and eat old world Italian style food. Copley Place has an upscale indoor mall, The Prudential Building has one as well and they are linked via an enclosed pedestrian walk way. The Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum is a beautiful place to walk around. You can walk around on your own or join up with a group. The Museum of Fine Arts is always a great place or how about the science Museum? The Science Museum and The Aquarium have Omni theatres and are always showing special films. Oh, least I forget - the Boston Public Gardens are a short walk away also. It may be nice to take a walk around and see one of our oldest parks. There is ice skating open to the public on the Frog Pond in the Public Gardens which is always fun.

Corporate accommodation - UK
Employees are coming in from overseas for a six month project – what are the accommodation options?
You need some sort of ApartHotel - places with apartments for short to medium rent as well as the hotel bit. Try www.chevalgroup.com, www.octopustravel.com or www.andbook.com. These may lead to you to what you need or suggest some other places.
Some/most hotels may give you very decent rates if your people are staying for any length of time and you can guarantee numbers and duration. I would also see about getting a corporate account so they don't end up paying on expenses or the like. It can really cripple them.
