I hope to meet with a great many of our readers at the New York Times Travel Show this coming Saturday
What may well be the nation's largest travel show will take place this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday, March 1 and 2, at the Javits Convention Center in midtown Manhattan. And my daughter Pauline and I will be speaking at that New York Times-sponsored show, in a large auditorium, at noon on Saturday and again at 2pm the same day. Immediately following both hour-long speeches, we'll be signing books but also talking with those of our readers who come by.
If you're in town at that time, you might want to attend the show, which features over 500 booths of travel suppliers, and several full-scale pavilions dedicated to important themes of travel. One pavilion will be supervised by The Knot, the website and magazine that deal with weddings and honeymoons involving travel. Another will be supervised by Doug Duda of A&E's "Well-Seasoned Traveler," and will present exhibits dealing with the role that food plays in travel (samples prepared by eminent chefs will be served to pavilion visitors for no further charge). Still another pavilion will focus on spa vacations, which have now become more numerous in America than golf vacations.
Of course, the main focus will remain on 500 individual booths of travel suppliers and destinations. No matter how much you may already know about the travel industry, you will always pick up valuable new facts and ideas at a show of such size.
Pauline and I look forward to meeting and speaking with you.
