We are champions of your cause and want to help you get the word out about your destination. Here's how:

Travel Show Live with Erik Hastings
If you have something new to brag about – or something REALLY IMPORTANT to say about your place, why not be a guest on Travel Show Live with Erik Hastings! This show reaches 300,000 listeners in the Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) in addition to being streamed globally, every Sunday, 2-4 PM. This is your chance to tell Erik's listeners something they may not know about your destination. Guest interviews are typically five to seven minutes and are informal, informative, and hopefully FUN.

Industry Event Publicity
Create earned media opportunities when you have an event or trade show bringing your tourism partners and stakeholders together in one place. Invite Erik to interview your tourism leaders and produce short-form videos that you can use for public relations, trade development, and social network marketing purposes.
