Alexandria, VA (February 1, 2006) – The National Business Travel Association (NBTA), the leading association for corporate and government travel managers and suppliers, is pleased to partner with The Cartoon Bank to offer The Lighter Side of Business Travel, a collection of 90 cartoons pulled from the pages of the legendary New Yorker Magazine. 

NBTA President and CEO Suzanne Fletcher remarked, “We’ve all had days in which nothing seems to go right.  NBTA offers this collection of cartoons to the travel community to help make the bad days seem not as bad, and to help all of us remember to laugh when the unexpected happens.”

The Lighter Side of Business Travel is a great gift for all professionals involved in the travel industry.  Its pages capture virtually every moment of the business travel experience, from airport security screening to hotel wake-up calls, through memorable cartoons from the nation’s leading cartoonists.  NBTA recommends using the publication to recognize a job well done, as a thank you to your company’s well-traveled team, as a pick me up after a bad day or as a going away gift.

Copies of The Lighter Side of Business Travel are available for NBTA members at $39 and for non-members at $54, plus $5 per book for shipping and handling within the United States.  Orders of ten copies are more save $5 per book.  Supplies are limited.  To order, see www.nbta.org/NewYorker.
