Atlanta, GA – October 2013 / Hospitality 1ST / Forbes Travel Guide is making it even easier for travelers to discover personally relevant content online, by integrating Clipix, a tool that lets visitors save and organize anything they see online in one central place, into its website, ForbesTravelGuide.com.

Utilizing Clipix technology, Forbes Travel Guide travel experts are curating and organizing the best travel content on the web onto "clipboards" across a variety of topics -- giving people the ultimate jumpstart on building their own reference libraries on travel topics that are relevant to them. Users can also opt for Forbes Travel Guide to recommend clipboards for them to follow, based on their specific travel preferences and interests.

"The volume of content on the web makes it difficult for travelers to find information they really need and want, especially the most credible information," said Michael Cascone, President and CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. "At Forbes Travel Guide, we're helping people take a more active role in organizing and managing their personal travel data and itineraries. Our curated clipboards powered by Clipix are cutting-edge tools through which travelers can plan more experientially satisfying trips."

Visitors to ForbesTravelGuide.com can privately manage content on clipboards they follow to best suit their own travel needs, and share information as they see fit. They can create their own clipboards with content from anywhere on the web simply by adding the "Clip" button to the bookmarks bar on their web browser. Registration for Clipix is integrated as a seamless, simple process on ForbesTravelGuide.com.

"It's often difficult to keep track of credible content you discover on the web," said Oded Berkowitz, founder and CEO of Clipix. "Whether it's hotel reviews or information on restaurants and spas, Clipix makes it that much easier for people to organize and easily refer back to their favorite travel information." He concluded, "We are thrilled to partner with the industry leader in global luxury travel ratings to provide a solution for travelers who have long wanted the ability to plan collaboratively, while keeping their information confidential."
