I find it quite flattering to be quoted in other articles, books, official government websites and sources - even Wikipedia! Here are a few of my favourites:

A Cooking Vacation in Thailand
"Chiang Mai, in the northeast of Thailand, is a common destination for travelers looking for a cooking vacation. Frommers designated Chiang Mai as one of the world's nine top cities for culinary vacations. Frommers recommends the school A Lot of Thai (alotofthai.com), where you'll learn to make the most common types of Thai dishes, such as sticky rice mango and pad Thai.
The other prime location for cooking vacations is Bangkok. Thailand's capital is a vibrant city with plenty of cooking schools and a huger number of class options. A major school in Bangkok is Blue Elephant Cooking School (blueelephant.com), which prides itself in teaching authentic "royal Thai cuisine." -

The International Journal of Humanities (UK). Volume XIII"The Da Vinci Node: Networks of Neo-pilgrimage in the European Cosmopolis"
by Rodanthi Tzanelli
IN 2004 CHARIS Atlas Heelan was suggesting to readers of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci
Code (DVC) to experience the story “literally, with a literary tour” (Frommer’s, 16/12/04).
Literacy is a social skill historically tied to the legitimation of hegemonic orders - the
priesthood of Middle Ages, the feudal elites of Renaissance, the national elites of Enlightenment.

Heritage in the Digital Era: Cinematic Tourism and the Activist Cause
By Rodanthi Tzanelli
"In effect, Heelan was highlighting how The Da Vinci Code engaged in a similar paradox: while opening up literary and embodies experience to the masses, it was repressing the knowledge that this staged democratization (my media conglomerates, cultural industries) had structural limits and served particular interest of capital networks......"

Dear Charis Atlas Heelan,
Let me begin with a compliment. Your slideshow
“The World’s Best Cities for Beer” on Frommer’s website is one of the more relevant travel pieces I have ever read. A bold statement, sure, but as the Australian writer Henry Lawson once noted, “Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer.” And this is especially true while on vacation.........

"Honduras remains a bit of a Central American secret when it comes to tourism. The result is a destination less than three hours flight from Miami, that boast fewer tourists than its neighbors, pristine beaches and world class diving. It’s also culturally diverse with numerous indigenous and mixed origin language groups, a rich heritage of art and music and a friendly welcoming population."
