WEBISODE: HOW TO HOST TRAVEL WRITERS BY LEVERAGING NMTD’S PR EFFORT​
November 13, 2018 from 10:00am to 11:00am. - REGISTER HERE

At New Mexico Tourism Department, our PR team is working hard to get earned media coverage for your region. Earned media is stories written by travel writers. Like word of mouth, earned media is considered very credible and can convert readers into New Mexico tourists. In our earned media efforts, the PR team works with HUB Destination Marketing, many national travel writers and hosts several press trips. With each press trip, our team works with multiple industry partners to find the best niche market for each journalist. Some are culinary writers, others are hardcore adventure writers who want to experience defending off cliffs and mountains, but each writer with approved assignments has a deadline. In this webisode we will be talking about why press trips are important (including a not-to-be-missed live discussion with our PR agency, HUB Destination Marketing) and how you, as an industry partner, can leverage NMTD¹s efforts by offering insight into your destination and offerings.
