New York, NY -(July 9, 2007) - ShermansTravel.com, the web's leading source for editor-screened travel deals and destination advice, today announced a content partnership with Weather Channel Interactive, Inc., through which its popular Top Ten destination lists will be published on weather.com.

Reaching more than 35 million unique users each month, weather.com is the most popular source of online weather, news and information according to Nielsen//NetRatings. Under the partnership, weather.com will publish ShermansTravel.com's Top Ten lists in its Vacation & Travel Planner section www.weather.com/vacations. The section will include an archive of past Top Ten lists, such as Cities for Foodies, Beaches We Love, and Scenic Drives in the U.S., and will be updated regularly with seasonal and special Top Ten lists.

"The Weather Channel Interactive is one of the most respected brands in the travel industry, and we're thrilled to team up with them to enhance the trip planning experience for the millions of weather.com users," said James Sherman, CEO and founder of ShermansTravel Media.
