Washington, DC will host Adventures in Travel Expo (ATE) in the Washington Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, February 11 & 12, 2006.

And, for those who are seeking to have an adventure a bit closer to home, Travel Industry Association sponsors the SeeAmerica pavilion, offering exciting trips across the U.S.. Or for an exotic experience, attendees will be treated to information from many destinations, hotels and resorts throughout the Caribbean in the Caribbean Village, sponsored by the Caribbean Tourism Organization.
This is our invitation to Washington, DC area residents to experience the world, says Jim Forberg, COO of Unicomm, producer of the Expo. The Adventures in Travel Expo is a travel marketplace of excellence where ultimate travel and lifestyle adventures converge. This is the place for those who want more from travel than sitting on a pretty beach. It is for those who want to experience a destination from a physical, cultural and spiritual standpoint and return with memories that last a lifetime.
The Adventures in Travel Expo will feature a full line-up of exciting activities such as a gigantic rock climbing wall, a heated scuba pool where visitors can learn to dive, an aerial zip line, kayak demonstrations, Global Beats Stage and an appearance by `Survivor` celebrity Burton Roberts, who is launching his new travel company, Reality Trips. Both Saturday and Sunday will also offer an exciting line-up of seminars including those presented by National Geographic ADVENTURE editors and photographers.
