Summary[edit]

Description

The 8th Annual Los Angeles Travel & Adventure Show, taking place 12-13 January 2013 at Long Beach Convention Center.

Peter Greenberg, CBS News Travel Editor, shares some travel tips in an hourlong talk. He had some very unusual tips - such as insisting on calling travel providers by phone and speaking with a live human being, rather than booking online (even with the telephone booking surcharges many airlines now charge), and suggesting "going there before KFC gets there." Especially in case of the latter, he expects Cuba to become a great travel market for Americans this year or next year, and for North Korea to be much more open to foreign visitors (someone has to fill the world's largest hotel, the Ryugyong in Pyongyang, somehow) in a few years. Not a talk for McCarthyist immigrants who are faint of heart, but some good points to consider for people who don't want another ho-hum vacation.

(And he certainly agrees with Pauline Frommer that cruise excursions are often poor values - more often than not, cruise passengers who research ahead can book similar tours on their own for a fraction of the cost, AND mingle with locals rather than fellow passengers.)
