Washington DC Travel & Adventure Show March 17, 2012

The leading travel event in the country returns to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in downtown, Washington, DC Sat, Mar 17 & Sun, Mar 18, with an extensive array of worldwide destinations, free giveaways, and action-packed activities. Specialists in the travel industry, including Travel Channel host Samantha Brown; Patricia Schultz, best-selling author of the newly-revised 1000 Places to See Before You Die; Pauline Frommer, travel writer and creator of Pauline Frommer Guidebooks, and Marc Peyser, editor of Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel Magazine, will host exclusive seminars for show attendees on various topics to help one plan an ideal vacation.

A hit in its 2011 debut, the Culinary Stage is back for a second straight year, celebrating gastronomy – a large part of every travel experience. The Stage showcases unique flavors from around the world, with a twist (and a little heat!). There will also be a demonstration with mixologist Trey Wheat. Additionally, guests of all ages will have the opportunity to try out a zip-line, take scuba lessons in a heated pool, and check their dexterity on a rock climbing wall as they plan the vacation of their lives.

Exhibitors from a wide array of exotic and exciting destinations across the world and adventures practically in our own backyard will display thousands of thrilling travel opportunities, ideal for every budget. From a magnificent sunset on the beautiful beaches of the Cayman Islands or an Argentine asado in gaucho country, to a tour of the Egyptian Pyramids on camelback or discovering the pulsating wilderness of Ethiopia, no destination is out of reach. The show is just right for anyone looking to create the vacation of a life time. Exclusive “show deals” on select travel packages will help turn this long-lasting dream into a reality.
