New expert travel review site, TheTravelEditor.com (http://www.thetraveleditor.com), has been launched to inject some much-needed 21st century thinking into the online travel review market.

Created by telecoms and internet veterans Kevin Evans and Nicholas Allen in March 2008, TheTravelEditor.com is for the discerning 30-50 year old professional looking for advice from top travel writers and documentary makers with an authoritative knowledge of the best places to visit.

"We're going against the grain of Web 2.0 a bit", explains co-founder Kevin Evans. "User generated content is great but sometimes it's a victim of its own success. Our customers don't have the time to sift through hundreds of reviews written by people they don't know." He continues, "Wouldn't it be great if you had a travel writer as your best friend? On our site, you can join your favourite writer's fan club and become part of their social network."
