The
journalist will assure they are not disrupting the business
at hand on the trip. If you wish to interview a guide or host,
please ask them what would be a good time to meet with them,
rather than interrupting them at an inopportune time.
It
must never be divulged that writers are taking this trip as
a complimentary guest. That is proprietary information and,
if spread to other guests, may devalue their investment in their
trip.
This
trip is being provided for the purpose of gathering information
for expected articles. It is not a personal vacation. It is
expected that the journalist will write the story, or stories,
based on their experience as soon as possible, and that they
will provide clippings to both the client and to Adventure Travel
Media Source.
If
the journalist fails to abide by the rules of professionalism,
or terms predetermined, they may be required to pay the operator
for expenses incurred.
Responsibilities
of the Host
The
outfitter/tour operator will host the journalist and treat them
the same as any other guest. This is important to both parties,
as the writer will want to write articles based on the experience
anyone booking the trip would expect.
The
host will make themselves available for conversations, questions
or interviews at a time or times convenient to the safety and
comfort of their guests.
The
host and Adventure Travel Media Source will provide brochures,
printed materials and online press kits, and answer questions
before and after the press trip, to assist in the writing of
resulting articles.
The
host will do everything within the parameters of the press invitation
to assure a good experience for the journalist.
