River Rafting Blog

It’s that time of year again – travel show season! All over the country exhibition halls, convention centers and arenas become venues for promoting travel, fishing, camping, boating, hunting destinations and other opportunities for recreation. These shows attract active, enthusiastic travelers and River Expeditions looks forward to showcasing our West Virginia adventure vacations among them.

We will be exhibiting in Columbus, Canton, Harrisburg, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Raleigh and Cambridge this winter and spring. We’re always open to attending new shows, so if you know of a great show in your area, let us know about it. While River Expeditions uses a whole host of advertising mediums, we still believe that attending travel shows and meeting people face to face is a great way to develop communication and build a rapport with potential guests. Travel shows also afford us the privilege of staying in touch with past guests who often visit our booth to re-tell stories of their most recent rafting adventure (somehow the tales grow taller with each telling). We have built relationships with these guests who we are proud to call our friends… some for over 20 years. River Expeditions show sales team is made up of river guides, managers, and support staff who welcomes you to the show and will likely greet you upon arrival at our headquarters, if you should visit. Our show sales team is grateful for the opportunity to get out of town, and avoid ‘cabin fever’ which is at its worst just before rafting season gets underway in early April. The reason we call it our sales team is that we actually sell trips at the shows. While many attend to browse or gather information, others take advantage of special show-only discounts and incentives and choose to book at the show. Whatever your reason for attending, be sure to visit our booth and give a shout out! We look forward to seeing you ON THE ROAD AGAIN - Hjo
