About Us
The New York Travel Writers Association is a non-profit, professional organization composed of individuals who earn a living as travel writers, editors, and broadcasters. It brings journalists together in an informal setting for fellowship and the exchange information about issues that our profession.
To that end, NYTW holds regular meetings, many of which are social events that introduce members to new venues in the New York area and afford opportunities to meet other travel industry professionals in order to learn more about a travel company, destination, or attraction.
Membership is on an invitation-only basis and is capped at 80 Active Members. Prospective members must be individuals who earn a living as journalists for consumer or trade publications, books, broadcast media, or online media.
Over the years, two additional membership categories have evolved: Retired Members and Associate Members (the latter group consisting of former journalists who joined as Actives, then moved into public relations or marketing). All members of NYTW are permitted to join other professional organizations.
