Going to NYC to Meet Europe’s Tourism Boards

Today the chill of the fall is finally upon us. The  crisp morning air that wakes you up and gives your breath a cloudy signature is the sign we’re well into fall, finally.  It’s Monday morning and a short week lies ahead.

Next week I’m going down to NYC for some meetings and to meet Kent to attend the Visit Europe Media Exchange. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet more than 40 European tourism officials all in one big room at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. They are there to meet people like us, to tell us why we should travel to their countries to write stories.   We are there to meet them and see how things fit, if they like us, often they’ll offer us a trip on the spot to their country.

Over the years GoNOMAD has come through for these folks, time and again, we publish the articles, include links to their sites, and always get the stories up quickly after we return.  Because they know how  important it is to be featured on quality websites like ours, these boards are eager to meet us.  Can’t wait to get back into the Big Apple, and see many of our favorite writers like Tim Leffel and Christine O’Toole.
