Gayle Anderson was live in Los Angeles at the 14th annual LOS ANGELES TIMES TRAVEL SHOW, held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, January 28-29, 2012, with an exclusive travel trade-only day today, Friday, from 9 am to 6 pm.
Named one of BizBash's "Top 10 Southern California Trade Shows and Conventions," the L.A. TIMES TRAVEL SHOW features exhibitors from destinations around the globe on the largest show floor in the West and will deliver all-new themed areas focused on family and active vacations, cruises, and luxury and leisure travel. A culinary stage will serve up regional and exotic flavors with cooking and cocktail demonstrations, while experiential activities and cultural performances will complete the international atmosphere.
The popular Los Angeles Times Pavilion, a must-see for show attendees, will showcase The Times' renowned editorial experts and offer a wealth of practical information. The Pavilion's intimate, interactive presentations and Q&As will highlight Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award-winning reporters and Pultizer Prize-winning photographers including: Christopher Reynolds, Mark Boster, Chris Erskine, Jen Leo and Kathy Pyon. Times Travel editor, Catherine Hamm, and a full roster of guests will also be speaking throughout the weekend, including Don Wildman ("Off Limits"), Josh Gates ("Destination Truth"), Rick Steves ("Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door"), Lisa Ling ("Our America"), Arthur Frommer (Frommer's travel guides) and Adam Richman ("Man vs. Food Nation," "America the Edible").
