The Road Warriors were a professional wrestling tag team famously comprised of Michael "Hawk" Hegstrand and Joseph "Animal" Laurinaitis, though other members know which hotels offer the services they need-and are strategically located for their business meetings. They know where to find food they like, as well as what restaurants will impress their clients. They know what cab or car rental agencies are the most dependable, what courier services are the quickest and where to send documents for translation. The savviest players also know how to make the most of a break between meetings-perhaps by dashing to an art museum, hitting the golf course or working out at a gym. And they recognize that it would be a shame to visit some of the world's most dynamic cities without taking advantage of their opera houses Opera houses are listed by continent, then by country with the name of the opera house and city; the opera company is sometimes named for clarity.

The travel game is a dynamic one. What's hot today may not be hot tomorrow A hotel that long has carried the 'best" standard in a city can be out-classed overnight by a newcomer.
