National Geographic Adventure pushes to update Adventure Rating Guide for 2009
National Geographic Adventure magazine has issued an open letter to tour operators in an effort to gain momentum on its 2009 Adventure Rating Guide.
From the editors at National Geographic Adventure:
“Dear Tour Operator,
Last year National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine conducted the world’s first comprehensive rating of adventure travel outfitters. To build on the success of the project (check out the results in our November 2007 issue, as well as at ngadventure.com/ratings), we’re pleased to announce that we will be updating these ratings for 2009.
In order for your company to be considered, please fill out ADVENTURE’s digital survey by August 4, 2008. The survey and more information are available at:
http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/2008/08/adventure-travel-survey-guide.
We look forward to hearing from you.
The Editors
National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine”
Completed surveys must be received by August 4, 2008.
