Click away to avoid holiday hell 

A travel firm in Warwickshire has unveiled a new way of helping tourists to avoid holiday misery.  Travel Management Group, in Dormer Place, Leamington has launched its online Hotel Gazetteer which shows customers what their intended resorts and hotels are really like.  The gazetteer, or so-called "truth book", gives an impartial verdict on popular hotels and resorts, cutting through travel clichés.

It has been published in book form since 1968, but TMG's online version is available at a click of a button.  Helen Ward, manager of TMG Leisure said, "TV is inundated with horror stories from people who have booked holidays, only to be left disappointed, upset and bewildered as to why they bear little or no resemblance to what they see in the brochures.

"TMG's customers will not suffer the same fate, by booking with the help of our online gazetteer."
