Welcome New States

Put Your Destination in Front of Travel Writers
One of the great challenges of tourism publicity is reaching out to travel writers. STS can be your messenger to some of the nation's best travel writers when the Central States Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers meets in Atlanta in April.
STS will host a hospitality suite throughout the convention and will have the opportunity to visit with the approximately 70 attendees. We will give every writer at the convention a collection of story ideas provided by STS members. The cost is only $250, far less than you'd invest to visit just one writer on his or her own turf. Want to know more? Call 404.364.9847 or write us.
