In New York this weekend?
The New York Times Travel Show, February 26-28, 2010
Check me out this year’s New York Times Travel Show (Feb 26-28th at the Javits Convention Center), the largest consumer and travel trade show produced in the US, featuring more than 500 tourism boards and 23,000 attendees.
Travel seminars are held throughout the day, hosted by experts in the field including the “Frugal Traveler” columnist Matt Gross, “Practical Traveler” columnist Michelle Higgins, WOR Radio host and travel experts Arthur and Pauline Frommer, “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” author Patricia Schultz and yours truly. I will be a featured speaker for a seminar called: Around the World With Julia Dimon – Beyond the Tourist Zone. In this 45 minute session, I’ll talk about my adventures across some 80 countries and six continents, from extreme religious festivals in Sri Lanka, to fair trade coffee farms in Nicaragua, to worm-infested jungles of Venezuela. With an insatiable passion for off-the-beaten track exploration, I’ll share tips on maximizing your very own travels, experiencing local culture and pushing beyond the tourist traps.
I’m also speaking with Max Hartshorne and Kent St. John about Travel Writing 201:
GoNOMAD.com editor Max Hartshorne and senior travel editor Kent St. John, and TV personality Julia Dimon (that’s me) provide insider’s tips for travel writers. This class builds upon last year’s successful workshop. Back from a trip and want to share what you saw with the world? We will present an overview of the travel writing market for beginner travel writers, and provide tips and tricks that will help get your articles published. We will also teach you how to use social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to get more exposure for your travel stories on the web.
Hope to see you at this weekend’s New York Times Travel Show!! For more information about the travel seminars, check out: http://www.nyttravelshow.com/Travel-Seminars.html
