SAN DIEGO – BCD Travel and TripIt today announced that TripIt has just been selected by the editors of TIME magazine to their annual list of 50 best Web sites (www.time.com). BCD Travel and TripIt are currently exhibiting at the NBTA (National Business Travel Association) convention in San Diego.

Last week, BCD Travel announced a new partnership with TripIt, an online itinerary platform widely hailed by road warriors for its ability to help them easily organize and share travel plans with colleagues, assistants and family. As part of the new offering, BCD Travel will transfer a traveler’s booking to TripIt, which delivers a master itinerary to the traveler’s personal TripIt account.
