This is the fourth year of the exposition. And attendance by the public is expected to reach 20,000 to 25,000. Vendors in the active and adventure travel industry will demonstrate their latest information and products. Special demonstrations will include an aerial zip line, an adventure ropes course, winter kayaking demonstrations on the Hudson, and a Culinary Travel Pavilion sponsored by Bon Appetit magazine to gather destinations, resorts, tour operators, chefs and cookbook authors specializing in culinary adventures from around the globe. Adventure Engine and Liberty Travel will be there to book tours and vacations on sight as well.

As presenting sponsor, the New York Daily News will be the main print and online conduit for marketing the event through an extensive integrated advertising and promotion campaign. This will include a dedicated supplement being distributed within the newspaper's Travel section one week prior to the ATE show, and regular promotional ads in the New York Daily News leading up to the event. The newspaper will also have naming rights to the event's Global Beats Stage, an entertainment element of the event for attendees which has attracted musicians and dancers from all over the world including Puerto Rican folkloric dancers, steel drummers from Barbados and Mongolian throat singers.

Partnering with the Adventures in Travel Expo will allow us to increase our share of the fastest growing segment of the travel industry," said Catherine Scalera, Director of Consumer Marketing and Promotions for the New York Daily News.
