in the end few travelers and business travelers at that do a final tally and evaluation of costs – true costs , total costs and real costs
How do the costs compare to the end results of the promotion ?
At the end of the day one has to consider and evaluate – was it productive ? Did it bring in extra and additional business ? Did it pay for itself and was it all worth the time and effort ?

I think that would depend what you do with it afterwards. Say you bought a plasma TV and reviewed it, you’d still own a Plasma TV which is an asset rather than an expense (i.e. you business is now worth what it was + the value of the plasma). The good thing about reviewing events is you do not have an asset at the end, apart from the memory and I don’t think they tax memories yet .

Being a paid blogger, I could technically write off anything I buy, as long as I review it, no?

Becoming a paid travel writer is one of the best ways to be able to write off your travel.

Sounds good, will do. Can you or anyone else recommend an accountant in London? Are there any that specialise in internet businesses?

And one other benefit as well – by writing this post you get plenty of financial adsense ads, which should have a nice high CPC
