AdventureNEXT gives attending media the opportunity to discover the unique natural and cultural resources and activities in a specific region. Selected official media delegates will learn about the region through immersive adventure tours and connections with regional suppliers at Marketplace, as well as find inspiration in learning about the value and development of adventure travel through speakers and workshops at the event.
The final selected hosted official media delegates will receive: complimentary event registration, accommodations during the event, economy round-trip air, airport transfers, and a pre-adventure tour at no cost (though some additional incidental costs may be required per the specific itinerary). Hosted media delegates are required to participate in a pre-adventure tour.
Schedule:
If selected as an official media delegate, the entire trip length will vary in duration up to six days prior to the event depending on the final selection of pre-adventure tour options (usually 3-5 days in length) plus the travel time from your origin city.
