transportation are part of WCITIES content that's kept fresh by an army of over 1,500 local researchers, writers, reviewers and other experts.
"WCITIES alliance to provide Concierge.com and Epicurious.com with Location-Based Information Services demonstrates CondeNet's commitment to
product excellence," said Kristi Dabadie, Business Development Manager for WCITIES. "We are pleased that these CondeNet brands will be making
WCITIES superior, one-of-a-kind service available to their users."
Concierge.com is a comprehensive online travel-planning resource that offers unique features, travel deals, editorial from Conde Nast Traveler, advice,

features developed by Concierge.com," said Susan Rerat, managing director of Concierge.com. "Partnering with WCITIES allows us to provide the most
comprehensive travel-planning resources on the Web."
