Virtual Press and Fam Trips

Press Trips

Nothing compares to a firsthand hotel experience; seeing is believing! Jennifer Oberstein, VIP's New York City based public relations consultant, organises and accompanies personalised press trips from conception to delivery of results. She targets top media contacts who can accept complimentary press travel and will secure 3-5 journalists per trip.

Only journalists who can guarantee coverage will be invited to attend. Jennifer escorts the journalists on the journey, provides personal follow-up, and supplies all media results to the hotel.

All press trip details will be coordinated in close collaboration with the hotel and include the following:

• Newsworthy theme(s) for press trip
• Travel dates and flights research
• Guest list based on theme of trip and target markets
• Design and send invitation; provide all confirmations
• Prior to arrival, the hotel will be provided with detailed biographies, photos, and personal preferences for each guest
• Development of curated itineraries: Journalists recognise affluent consumers and prefer one-of-a-kind experiences over ‘things’ when travelling
• Request journalists to post his/her trip highlights to social media via Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter etc
