The Travel & Adventure Show Makes Santa Clara Its New Destination!
Experience the World and Find the Vacation of a Lifetime (www.adventureexpo.com)

(Santa Clara, CA, November XX, 2010) --- This January 15th-16th, 2011, travel enthusiasts in the Bay Area can trot the globe without hopping on a plane, as the Santa Clara Convention Center hosts the region's premier Travel & Adventure Show.

From travel celebrities sharing their best insider tips, to free hands-on adventure activities like zip line rides and rock climbing to cultural music and dance performances, The Travel & Adventure Show is a vacation in itself.

Make it a date with friends or bring the family! The Travel & Adventure Show offers guests a chance to try out scuba diving free of charge before heading to Hawaii, or sample fiery foods from around the world, while children can be entertained by storytellers sharing tales from the farthest corners of the globe.

According to John Golicz, CEO for Unicomm, which produces the event nationally, "experience travel" is the main attraction. "It's not sight-seeing, it's sight-doing, whether it's cycling 'inn to inn' across Europe, taking cooking lessons in Tuscany, dive and jungle adventures in Belize, or whitewater rafting in Colorado. The traveler becomes physically immersed in the culture. But the trips also provide 'creature comforts'- a lovely dinner indigenous to the region, spa options and upscale lodging."

And booking your dream vacation doesn't have to put a big dent in your wallet. Travel experts from over 150 exhibitors will also be on hand at The Travel & Adventure Show to help people plan a perfect trip, with exclusive discount travel deals only available to show attendees.
