Media FAMs

One of the primary functions of the MTCVB Public Relations Department is to assist qualified members of print and broadcast media. We are happy to suggest itineraries and facilitate visits to area attractions, cultural venues and other points of interest for inclusion in articles, books and broadcasts.
 
The CVB hosts a variety of group and individual press trips designed to give journalists the first-hand experience necessary to make their stories stand out. The public relations team facilitates these visits by offering support that ranges from providing story ideas, information and recommendations, to coordinating hour-by-hour itineraries.
 
Please note that complimentary arrangements are provided at the discretion of the hotel and attraction partners and are subject to availability. Blackout periods may apply throughout the year, necessitating a media rate. Please understand that our primary concern is assisting working media. Host locations are not always able to accommodate spouses, children and visitors accompanying working press.
 
Individual press trips allow for a customized itinerary based on a journalist's assignment and offer flexible scheduling options, while group press trips are scheduled to accommodate a number of journalists and usually feature a generalized itinerary that may focus on key themes.
 
Upon publication, we ask that you send a copy of the article. For broadcast mentions, please provide air dates or send a copy of the segment.
 
Please contact the PR Department (contat information below) at least four weeks prior to arrival.
 
Include assignment and copies of your most recently published articles, photographs or produced tapes. Assignment should include demographics, circulation and scheduled date of publication or broadcast.

• Be specific with your request.
• Provide dates of arrival and departure and, if possible, alternate dates.
• Indicate if you need accommodations, admission to attractions and/or an itinerary.
• Indicate whether your travel budget includes costs for any or all of the services arranged by the MTCVB.
• Indicate if your article will include mention of suppliers' services or if it is a destination-only piece.

Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the MTCVB may not be able to cover the cost of airfare. We can however, assist with ground transportation to and from Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) or Tucson International Airport (TUS).
