They’re incredible opportunities to connect with people, places, and stories you normally couldn’t otherwise access or afford. And, let’s face it, they’re a nice perk of the job.
1. Press trips (also called FAM or familiarisation trips) are either done with a group or individually.
2. Individual trips are generally more flexible and focused on your work and interests.
3. Discuss expectations.
4. Punctuality matters.
5. Organization matters, too.
6. Attitude really matters.
7. Press trip food can be funny.
8. Finally, don’t be afraid to speak up and ask for what you need before and during your trip.
The primary purpose of a press trip is to allow a journalist to gain access to the people, places, and information they need to pursue a story.
When a tourism board is hosting, the focus is naturally on travel.
the secondary purpose of a press trip is that it allows destinations the chance to push their priorities
Getting invited on press trips is all about value.

search engines cannot `see` images, proper Alt content will help them to better understand and index images.
Tips:
1. always add alt attributes to images. Alt is mandatory for accessibility and for valid XHTML.
2. words used within an image`s Alt attribute should be its text equivalent and convey the same information.
3. use a human-readable caption and descriptive text around the image. |
