TravelSmith, Samsonite, REI, Chip Shot Golf and N2K’s Music Boulevard.
“In our effort to provide a complete, one-stop-shopping travel service, we are

subscribers a great way to prepare and pack for tropical vacations, business
trips or weekend getaways.”
As part of the new service, Preview Travel will offer comprehensive “packing

for all types of travel from safaris to business trips. These packing lists,
made available by TravelSmith, are featured within the Travel Store, as well
as integrated into Preview Travel’s Destination Guides and Vacation Center.
In addition to being available at previewtravel.com, the Travel Store will be
the featured travel shop within Excite’s shopping channel, the company said.
Financial arrangements of that deal were not disclosed.
