Itinerary & Registration
The IFWTWA invites our Regular member writers/content creators to apply for the following Media Trips. These events span various North American and International locations and occur about a minimum of four times per year. Participants are expected to conduct themselves professionally and adhere to IFWTWA’s expectations.
Our Media Trip Committee works closely with our Associate members and other destination management hosts to craft visits designed to give participants maximum exposure to notable food, wine, and travel activities with story angles and topics of interest in each destination.
- Attend annual conferences and workshops and walk away with a notebook full of stories from any one of our many hosted mini-press tours at every conference.
- At regional events you’ll gain exclusive access to the backstories and notable figures driving local and regional topics relevant to our industry.
- Meet new people, explore new areas, get a chance to discover more about yourself and the world and, you’ll see places the typical tourist might miss.
- During our webinars you’ll meet experienced speakers, share insights and exchange ideas with fellow members
Our volunteer leaders team up with local experts with a laser-sharp focus to hone in on and bring you exclusive and unique access to the latest, unique food, wine and destination travel and learning experiences.
