BDCG’s affordable marketing program for boutique properties, tour operators and other vendors is a one stop shop for PR, trade representation and social media.
United States, 18th Dec 2024 – There are tens of thousands of independent boutique luxury hotels around the globe, thousands of tour operators curating incredible experiences and private jet companies and others that provide exemplary experiences and services; yet they remain unknown to the majority of travelers and travel advisors, because they lack affordable marketing methods to support and grow their businesses. Many, if not most, are frustrated by competing with the “big guys,” do not have the resources, time, connections or internal marketing know-how leaving the US market beyond reach.
But now, that’s all changing! The experts at Black Dog Communications Group (BDCG) have introduced an affordable and impactful Comprehensive Travel Support Program, tailored to meet the travel representation, public relations and social media needs of independent businesses within the luxury hospitality/travel industry.
Black Dog Communications Group, Inc., www.blackdogcomm.com is a leader in travel communications/PR/Travel Representation/Travel Focused Social Media for hotels and operators around the globe. We’ve worked with the United States Virgin Islands during and in the aftermath of a hurricane, helped open Monteverdi Tuscany Hotel & Villas, provided communications support for Historic Mt. Vernon’s anniversary, and worked with one of the country’s leading travel representation companies and many of their thirty-five-plus members. Now, our comprehensive services have been streamlined, making them available to smaller, prestigious, boutique properties, Destination Management Companies (DMC’s)/tour operators and travel vendors who otherwise find it hard to compete for awareness and bookings.
BDCG’s new and Comprehensive Travel Support Program consists of:

“For years I have met and spoken with hundreds of small yet distinguished boutique hotel owners and managers as well as DMC’s who provide multi-star accommodations and first-class experiences but, struggle for attention among travel advisors, media, and influencers in the U.S. market. Now, these unique properties and experiences can have access to experienced, connected, proven, affordable experts all in one coordinated effort, said BDCG Founder Shep Doniger. “Raising awareness, building brand recognition and trust and driving bookings is now within reach at an affordable price point. We are receiving very strong and positive reactions to what we are doing from many operators around the world who desperately need what we are providing,”
BDCG has a unique understanding of the consumer travel market and travel trades, specifically travel advisors. “As part-owner of an agency with offices in New York and South Florida, I focus on the industry every single day and bring indisputable insider knowledge to my clients,” said Shep. “Together, our team brings decades of experience, thousands of advisor relationships, and the experience of social media management for dozens of travel clients to work for our clients. We know how to create and tell compelling stories, possess the relationships and ability to get the message out, and secure results that put our clients on the radars of the exact audiences they must reach.”
