Adventure Travel Live website
Part of the organisers remit to try and attract a new audience to this re-branded show. Not only the traditional visitor who is looking for a group tour, but also individuals looking to create their own adventure. Hence the invitation for Tour de Force to host this area
Every journey starts with a map, this then remains a vital reference point throughout the whole trip. The Expedition Planning area will bring these essential documents to life. Tour de Force and The Royal Geographic Society will be drawing from a wide range of people from within the travelling community together to pour over maps, swap stories, give talks, exchange travel tips, answer questions and find the best routes. Whether you are planning a trip, want to reminisce on past experiences, or just love maps, the Expedition Planning area will be the place to find the best information.
The Tour de Force and the RGS will be offering the following:
* route planning based on latest knowledge and mapping consultation
* vehicle knowledge, preparation, safety and training
* advice for travellers on destinations/routes through countries/continents
* information on website, on-line communities and support networks
* advice on vehicle paperwork, visas, travel documents etc..
* available resources, opportunities, courses, support, funding & grants available
* advice for those looking at sabbaticals, career change, gap years, charity fundraising trips
* publications to support planning resources/handouts to take away
* contacts, names, networks (extremely valuable....)
* in effect a "one stop shop" for anyone planning their own expedition, from the first inspiration through to successful completion.
