The primary focus of the regional Travel & Words conferences is building productive connections between journalists and destination marketers. This takes the form of scheduled one-on-one meetings as well as plenty of casual networking opportunities.
In addition, expert travel and tourism industry presenters will share valuable insights into how journalists and destinations can effectively champion media coverage and promotion of responsible tourism.
In addition to one-on-one meetings between journalists and destination reps, the 2024 program will include a DMO panel, a meet the editor networking session with guest editors, a choice between two workshops (“Publish your travel book” or “The best social media platforms for travel writers”), an off-site tour with Pretty Gritty Tours, an off-site welcome reception and a cocktail reception in the Hotel Murano.
