Our goal is to assist travel journalists and facilitate any necessary visit to encompass the points of interests, attractions and accommodations that will be covered in their articles, books and broadcasts.
As you can imagine, we receive numerous requests from travel writers each year. In order to accommodate your editorial needs, we need your help in complying with the following guidelines:
- We request a minimum of two business weeks notice for a press visit once we have received all your credentialing information. This allows us time to pursue suitable, available lodging and make other arrangements to enhance your visit.
- Complete the media trip familiarization request form.
- Forward a letter of assignment on letterhead from the media outlet you are representing.
- Freelance writers, please forward documentation of recent examples of travel or travel-related feature coverage. Documentation can be in the form of print clippings with your byline or a VHS or cassette sample of coverage you have previously produced.
- Fax items to the Public Relations Department at 828-254-6054 or email us.
- Notify the Asheville CVB of any change in plans immediately.
- Forward an original copy of your published feature, cassette tape or VHS tape as well as air dates upon completion.
Please note that complimentary arrangements are provided at the discretion of the host businesses and are subject to availability. Black-out periods may be experienced throughout the year that may necessitate a press rate, especially at hotels. Unfortunately, we cannot provide airfare for your trip, nor can we pay for ground or meals. Please understand that our primary concern is assisting working press. Therefore, host locations are usually unable to accommodate spouses, children and visitors accompanying working press. Again, thank you for your interest in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. We look forward to assisting you in your research.
