”MTJA members are tourism professionals who know travel journalism from A to Z. Not only have I learned a lot at conferences, they’ve given me the opportunity to experience new attractions and destinations. There’s always something to take away from the professional development sessions and on the tours, I learn by observing my fellow travel journalists at work. Associate members supply excellent story ideas.
