I’m so excited to be attending the 16th Annual Chicago Travel & Adventure Show February 8-9th. I’ll get to learn more about the thousands of vacation options and international culture that’s available for us to explore. I’m eager to learn from top travel experts as well as celebrity speakers and travel personalities including Josh Gates, Host of Discovery Channel’s “Expedition Unknown,” Rick Steves, Pauline Frommer and Peter Greenberg.
I’m anxious to get inspired from the experts on where we should take our next vacation. Not only does the show showcase domestic destinations but international as well. Right now I am focused on traveling through all of the beautiful United States with my son but one of these days I’m sure we’ll travel internationally. The Chicago Travel & Adventure Show is open to the public and travel professionals. Learn more below.
Travel Celebrities on Hand to Create Wanderlust
Guests can learn how to navigate Europe as a local with Rick Steves’ European Travel Skills and explore the world as Josh Gates takes them off the map with his TV show on Discovery Channel, “Expedition Unknown.” Pauline Frommer will also be on-hand to help travelers Spend Less and See More, while Peter Greenburg will give the insider scoop on how to win the travel game.
This is Chicago’s favorite travel show and serves as a mini world vacation in and of itself. Chicagoland residents who love to travel come to the event to tour the global sights and sounds, receive educational content during hands-on seminars and get inspired to take their next trip from experts from around the globe.
