Travel & Adventure Shows

The largest series of consumer travel events in the United States, the Travel & Adventure Shows connect the public, media, and travel advisors with hundreds of domestic and international providers. Held annually from January to March, the shows tour major U.S. markets, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. Each event features an exhibition floor – often organized by continent – and multiple theaters where renowned travel personalities like Rick Steves, Samantha Brown, and Peter Greenberg conduct sessions on specific destinations and practical advice. The format is built around direct interaction, offering hands-on activities, cultural performances, and opportunities for attendees to plan and book trips on-site with access to exclusive deals. Over two decades, the shows have connected more than 2.7 million travel enthusiasts with over 5,800 exhibitors, influencing an estimated $7 billion in travel bookings. General admission tickets are typically under $20.
