Press trips are the cornerstone of the travel industry. As a multi-billion dollar industry, travel and tourism relies on writers to visit their destinations, write about them and drum up interest, resulting in more visitors and more money spent. Places like rely almost exclusively on travel and tourism have an on-going need to for tourist coverage. Places like Tahiti, Scotland, Alaska and St. Kitts, and hundreds of other beautiful places around the globe need YOU! They need travel writers to visit them and take back well-written articles that inspire others to visit.

Press trips are a great investment for hoteliers, tour operators and others in the travel industry. While a paid advertisement runs for a short time, a travel article reaches a much wider audience (potentially worldwide) and can be updated easily. This results in more (and better) exposure for the destination AND more opportunity for the travel writer to sell and resell the article!!
