Win a Pair of Tickets to Los Angeles Travel Adventure Show

Past Shows

It was about three years ago that my family and I decided to check out the Los Angeles Travel Adventure Show in the Long Beach Convention Center. It was out first taste of a travel show. As a travel enthusiast, I felt like a kid entering a candy store. The event featured hundreds of exhibitors and countries representing some of the world’s most sought-after destinations, exclusive special offers and travel experiences. The event is designed for all ages. In fact, my boys had so much fun that we decided to make it a tradition every year.

There were a lot of activities offered for kids, so your family can plan which is the best family friendly destination. First up, we did indoor ziplining, there was also the scuba pool, indoor rock climbing and my kids favorite activity was the bubble rollers.

Aside from the cultural performances, I had a blast listening and watching some of my favorite hosts from The Travel Channel. One in particular was Samantha Brown. After her lecture, she had a “meet and greet” and I was able to have a photo op with her.

This year I’m stoked to cover the event and try scuba diving with my 12-year-old son lead by a dive master. Golicz said, “As the only travel show in the greater Los Angeles metroplex, we are excited by this year’s massive show floor.”  He also mentioned, “Due to the rapid growth of attendees the last few years, we have seen over 100 new exhibitors join this event. We have increased theater capacities, expand aisles to accommodate the crowds, and we even have a dive pool where adventurers 10 and older can try scuba diving with a dive master. It’s a great show for families!”
