Travel Show Live Partners with Kissimmee

Jan. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, NY & Kissimmee, FL  – Travel Show Live with Erik Hastings, the nationally-syndicated on-air and online travel show, today announced that the Kissimmee Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) will partner with them to produce media content to boost tourism to Kissimmee.

The Kissimmee CVB will collaborate with Travel Show Live (TSL) to create new, reality-style audio and video clips showing the on-the-ground visitor experience in what is called The Heart of Florida. “As travelers go online to research, plan, and book their vacations, they want to see what the destination is about. The more we can show them . . . the more likely they are to plan more activities and experience more of the destination! Videos are the best way to serve these consumers whether they’re on their home computer, laptop, or watching videos on the latest portable device,” said Thomas Lang, CVB Director.

Content will include entertaining interviews with expert guests on topics such as family recreation, destination weddings, and outdoor adventures. Interviews will be aired on the weekly Travel Show with Erik Hastings, WABC New York and syndicated by Talk Radio Network, reaching over 250,000 listeners. (http://www.TravelShowLive.tv) Video content will be used for the Travel Show Live webcast on Kissimmee, which will play on a continuous loop of programming for one week. Thereafter, consumers can find and play the Kissimmee content “ON DEMAND” by simply selecting it from the Travel Show Live video library. The videos will also be uploaded to YouTube where consumers can find them directly, or through the major search and decision engines. On-location videotaping, on-air broadcasting and webcasting will occur during the first quarter of 2010.

“I am thrilled to be back shooting in central Florida! Kissimmee is bursting at the seams with so much to do and my goal is to get consumers to explore this part of the state BEYOND the big theme parks,” exclaimed Erik Hastings, CEO of Scripted Improv Media and Host of Travel Show Live.

The Kissimmee Convention & Visitors Bureau is the official agency for travel and tourism in Osceola County, Florida.
