The Biggest Travel Show of the Year

After another quick assignment here in Buffalo it's back to NYC for the New York Travel Show. This is a must-see for fans wanting to meet travel tv personalities like Andrew Zimmer, Samatha Brown and Rick Steves.

Last year, I got the chance to shake hands with authors Patricia Schultz and Marie Javins. This year I'll be bringing copies of their books, "One Thousand Places to See Before You Die" and "Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik" for both women to sign.

Besides familiar faces you're sure to learn from a trade day schedule of conferences, workshops and the show floor itself with over 150 countries represented. There are seminars to introduce you travel agency owners, managers, line agents and meeting planners.

Tip: If you're planning to travel to Africa this year (or any year) there are dozens of travel agents with photos, slides and discounts for the Dark Continent. Some on site-specials can only be found at the Travel Show so fork over the $20 at the door and get yourself a front row seat into the travel secrets of industry gurus.
