Have you ever got requests from outside VT to change the text of a tip. I think I already had 5 in the course of time and I updated all those tips. In three occasions I even was provided with recent pictures. I see it as a sign that VT get some recognition from shop- and restaurant owners. Have you ever got update requests for your tips? PJ
yes i have - locals have emailed me and told me i have got it totally wrong - very embarrassing
On the contrary: learning the truth cannot be embarrassing. I'm always glad when I finally discovers how things fit together. PJ
I have and sometimes i have changed it if they were right, but i have also had people moaning to me cause they do not like what i wrote about their business. And i have a restaurant owner from Goreme/Turket who writes me regulary that i have a free meal the nest time i visit his restaurant because of the review i wrote about his excellent little place.
I've also had a restaurant owner moaning to me about what I had written in my review. I wrote back and to the owner but never changed my tip because I was totally correct in what I wrote. I left his email of complaint on the page though. More embarrassing for the owner me thinks!
I've never received a request, but I've written another VT member about a few restaurant closings in my home town that they had written about.
No I have not had any at all but if a VT member ever sent me an update I would be very grateful

The new owner contacted me to demand to change my tip as they are open as usual. Now I knew for certain that the owner retired & sold the business. Needles to say the new owner pestered me for weeks and after advice from the peeps here I stuck to my guns. you win some you loose some!
The nearest i have come was when I wrote a tip about an excellent little cafe in a place in UK. Local friends informed me that the place had changed hands and I wrote on VT stating this although obviously offering no opinion on the new place as I had not ate there. The new owner wrote me a very pleasant VTmail suggesting that I pop in for a meal next time I was there.unfortunately, circumstances did not allow and I believe it has been taken over yet again all of which just goes to show how transitory travel tips can be.
It was when i saw a trailerpark in Shawnee that got destroyd that i got worried cause i know this is the town next to... more
