Press Reviews and Company Profile

Bugbog?
Bugbog is an abbreviation of the dying words of George V in 1936. Bognor Regis was a seaside town popular with the Royal Family in the early 1900s.
Standing beside King George's sick bed, one of his ministers said, "Cheer up, your Majesty, you'll soon be at Bognor again."
The king groaned, "Bugger Bognor!" and died.
True? Well, we like to think so. Residents of Bognor Regis probably disagree.

Bugbog Mission Position:
Bugbog is an independent, impartial travel advice website run by a group of experienced world travellers. It is primarily designed as a destination finder and travel resource to help potential holidaymakers quickly and efficiently choose the best worldwide holiday spot according to their needs and holiday date. We do not sell holidays or flights, though we link to reputable companies that do.
Bugbog priorites are: download speed, clarity, simplicity and utility - with a hint of humour to ease the techno-pain.
We have a secure financial base and are cautiously expanding our staff, improving our technology and increasing our content - and will continue doing so for many years to come.

Some reviews:

Wanderlust magazine Travel Awards: Readers voted Bugbog at #6 out of 500 travel websites in a satisfaction league table. [Lonely Planet was #1]. The Editor commented: '...It's surprising this [Bugbog] didn't score higher considering the inspiring travel photo galleries, the useful links to other relevant sites and the range of quirky feature sections to help broaden your plans...'

'...few individuals write as well or as entertainingly as this...An eclectic collection of mostly long-haul travelogues with great photos, it is designed to help stimulate independent travel choice and succeeds comfortably.' Listed at #4 of Steve Keenan's 50 favourite travel websites, The Times

'One of the best guides to more exotic locations, it is as absorbing and exotic as the destinations it covers.' Web User (5 stars - maximum)

A very well thought-out and constructed site. I applaud their decision to step back and produce a robust, functional site that really delivers without showing off...it becomes absorbing as you search for obscure details or links, and you may spend longer on this site than expected. It's certainly found a place in my 'Favourites'. Adrian Mann, TravelMole site-of-the-week review.

A very nice site, excellent design, clever original graphics, great photos, and your content is informative, entertaining, presented well and easy to access.
