Travel
In cooperation with a group of leading Public Broadcasting Stations, Burt has developed a travel company that takes PBS viewers on tours and cruises throughout the world. By promoting the cruises on the stations, the company receives millions of dollars of free media exposure. And by passing on a substantial amount of the income to the stations, the company has been able to offer considerable support to Public Broadcasting. The company is a limited liability corporation owned by Burt and PBS viewers who have traveled with him on his cruises. Recently, the company began to offer additional tours and cruises hosted by local PBS personalities.

Famous quotes containing the word travel:
“You are wonderful. I love and honor you.... [ellipsis in source] Lead your own life, attend to your charities, cultivate yourself, travel when you wish, bring up the children, run your house. I’ll give you all the freedom you wish and all the money I can but—leave me my business and politics.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“Good news about someone never gets past the door, but bad news will travel a thousand leagues away.”
—Chinese proverb.
