Adventure Travel Expo
Interested in adventure travel? Want to vacation to an exotic destination? Planning a quick get-away, but not sure where to go?
The Adventures in Travel Expo in Washington, DC is an ideal place for travelers to explore destinations, visit with foreign and domestic travel and tourism bureaus, and learn about exotic places to visit. No matter if it’s a short trip weekend trip by car or a global adventure, there’s all kinds of fun places to explore and lean about.
With a couple hundred exhibitors and lots of hands-on activities - scuba dive in the 18,000-gallon heated pool, climb the rock wall or ride the aerial zip line, it’s sure to excite your travel spirit.
