It's that time of year again! If you're an avid traveler, you know that there are few events as helpful—or as exciting—as the annual Travel and Adventure Shows.
And this year promises to be a lollapalooza thanks to a packed line up of experts coming to New York City's Javits Convention Center on January 25 and 26, 2025.
Peter Greenberg, the Travel Editor of CBS News, will be sharing his insights, as will Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race, author and movie star Andrew McCarthy, and Patricia Schultz (of 1000 Places to See Before You Die). PBS Hosts Kathy McCabe and Mickela Mallozzi will be presenting, as will YouTube sensation Angel Castellanos.
All this will be in addition to dance and music performances on the Cultural Stage, and thousands of location experts at booths, giving insider advice on Costa Rica, Barbados, Cyprus, African safaris, major cruise lines, and expedition cruises, Croatia, Tokyo and much more.

Of course, I'm telling you about all this because I want you to hear my new speech, which will celebrate the legacy of my father Arthur Frommer, reveal the latest tips on where to go in 2025, and explain how to travel more cost effectively in today's travel world.
I will be speaking on Saturday—only—at 3pm on the large Travel Stage.
But here's a little secret: If you'd like to discuss your next vacation with me personally, or if you want me to sign one of our Frommer's books for you, visit the show's bookstore booth for meet-and-greets on both Saturday and Sunday. I will be making myself available there on both days, throughout the weekend.
And here's another secret: You don't have to pay to get in.
General admission tickets are normally $19.09 for one day and $28.08 for both days. But for free entry, you can go to the Travel and Adventure Show website and use the code FrommersVIP. This code only works for freebies on advance tickets, not at the door.
I'll see you at the show!
