My last Travel Gone Wrong post was about my expensive mistake in Taiwan<\/a>. I take ownership for that one.\u00a0 Seriously, who forgets their passport at the hotel? \u00a0This edition of Travel Gone Wrong is about a recent trip being cut short\u2026 due to a personality conflict.<\/p>\n

Many get into the whole travel blogging business for the \u201cfree travel\u201d.\u00a0 There are still plenty of bloggers that promote their blog posts with catchy, clickable headings such as \u201cBecome a Travel Blogger, Travel for Free\u201d.\u00a0 To me, sponsored travel\u00a0not that much different from business travel of my government employee days. I create content, write articles, and network during these trips. \u00a0Whether you’re at an IT conference or exploring a new destination, there\u2019s still a product rendered at the end. \u00a0In the case of a press trip, it\u2019s called content for which said public relations firm or the destination that invited you in the first place.<\/p>\n

I recently participated in a two-person press trip with an unknown journalist and myself.\u00a0 I will not mention names because the purpose of this post is not to put people on blast but rather share my experience of those in the travel media business whether you are a content creator or on the public relations side. This person didn\u2019t clearly articulate for which publication he writes for, does not have a social media presence, and no current website.\u00a0 Although I don\u2019t work in public relations directly, I do organize events for which I have to curate a media list for clients.\u00a0 Two essential things that I look for on the list I am curating on behalf of my client:\u00a0 a social media presence and a concrete outlet, whether it is a blog or other media they contribute to. \u00a0Lesson Learned: if someone tells you \u201cI write for so and so\u201d and their email is not from that publication domain, check with the editor of the publication to confirm.<\/p>\n

The press trip soon went sour when the person used the word \u201cwetback\u201d to refer to Latinos, referred to Latinos in the United States as \u201cpeople who don\u2019t want to learn how to speak English\u201d, and refer to other Latin American countries as \u201cdumps\u201d or \u201cundesirable\u201d locations.\u00a0 Needless to say, as a Latina, I felt that I was in an uncomfortable situation.\u00a0 After another 48 hours in this environment, I can no longer take the sexist and borderline racist comments. That means that I will have to spend the next four days with this man.\u00a0 As the Marine that I am, I evaluated the courses of action.\u00a0 I thought of confronting him but given that my comebacks to his comments were clearly inefficient, that was not an option.\u00a0 I decided to bring this to the attention to the destination public relations representative.\u00a0 I gave the examples of what he had said and told them that I cannot travel with this person any longer as it is difficult to capture the experience.<\/p>\n

I was under the impression that racist comments, especially the use of the word \u201cwetback\u201d would not be tolerated.\u00a0 Not the case. They did not contact the other party until the following day, although the guide supported my statements about his inappropriate behavior. \u00a0The guide we provided by the tourism board\u00a0decided that perhaps the best course of action was divide the activities of the day to alleviate the tension.\u00a0 Apparently that was a no-go for the higher-ups.\u00a0 Just like that, I get a phone call that the trip has been cut and I have to leave the country in less than 24 hours. \u00a0The worst part is that the PR tells me he can\u2019t send someone home based on \u201chearsay\u201d so we both have to go home. \u00a0I stood up for what I believe in and got punished.<\/p>\n

For those thinking to themselves that it is ok to bash Latinos:\u00a0 If you love to travel and eat in the United States, I\u2019m here to tell you that is more than likely a Latino cooking your $35 dish \u201ccreated\u201d by a celebrity chef, running the farm where those grapes of your Pinot are being produced, and behind the scenes at many luxury properties ensuring that your stay is flawless. There\u2019s a generation of Latinos who\u00a0don\u2019t even speak\u00a0Spanish because their parents felt that it would be detrimental to their upward mobility.\u00a0 I am puzzled that a so-called travel writer does not recognize this.<\/p>\n

My interpretation of the whole debacle: this PR rep must think I am making this up.\u00a0 I am here to tell you, although a writer, I suck at fiction. That\u2019s why I write about my travel experiences. \u00a0Sounds cheesy but I felt heartbroken and humiliated on my way to the airport.\u00a0 There\u2019s nothing worse than a person doubting you, even when you tell them there\u2019s plenty of destination marketing folks who can vouch for you. I guess that I can add \u201cbeen kicked out of a press trip\u201d to my resume.<\/p>\n

As I write this, I am on a plane home.\u00a0 Not only my trip has been cut short, but now I lost money because I had already pitched content to other publications I cannot longer provide.\u00a0 Here\u2019s my takeaway from the experience:<\/p>\n

For bloggers:<\/strong>\u00a0 If you don\u2019t feel you can unbiasedly write about a destination, don\u2019t go.\u00a0 Remember that everything is on Google. If you have a reputation of writing nasty vitriol, someone is going to find it. \u00a0Sad part is that the person on this trip had a nasty article written about another destination and an unfavorable article about his personality. \u00a0Be positive.\u00a0 I try my best not to write negatively. \u00a0I thought about this article for four days before publishing it. \u00a0I don\u2019t want to burn bridges, however, my principles are not worth a free plane ticket. \u00a0I chose to write this because I was asked by other travel bloggers to share the story as a lesson learned.\u00a0 If there is something negative about your experience, be constructive about it.\u00a0 Ensure to take it up with the hosts before you write about it.\u00a0 Perhaps the situation can be rectified.<\/p>\n

For travel public relations professionals:<\/strong> research!\u00a0 Does the person fit your brand?\u00a0 Have you read other articles that person has published?\u00a0 Will the blogger share the experience on real-time with their followers? Is the person an influencer? If planning a group trip: do these journalists\/bloggers have similar interests? Perhaps do an e-intro for participants to start following one another beforehand and communicating via email.\u00a0 On this particular trip, I didn\u2019t even know who I was traveling with until 2 days before departing.\u00a0 No email or contact information was provided.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been knee deep on my Kickstarter campaign<\/a>, so I didn\u2019t do much digging on Google.\u00a0 I only checked the name and was wondering why I couldn\u2019t find any articles or social media on this person.<\/p>\n

When Lacy from the exp\u00e2t\u00e9<\/a>, Kristen from Border Free Travels<\/a>, and Amy of Creatrice Mondial<\/a>\u00a0organized the #CaptureAnguilla trip I attended in August, they handpicked a group of content creators they knew had many things in common.\u00a0 They encouraged attendees to follow one another on social media and engage with one another beforehand.\u00a0 I truly felt like I knew everyone there prior to arrival. \u00a0The experience was like no other I have experienced.<\/p>\n

So those are my thoughts on Travel Gone Wrong: Press Trip Edition.\u00a0 Have you had a press trip gone wrong story? How did you make it better?<\/p>\n
