It's Like Taking a Mini-Vacation Around the World

The Chicago TAS is one of the best ways to learn about destinations for a future vacation. It's better than a search engine for exploring, because you'll run across destinations and tours you might never think of Googling.  And many exhibitors offer deals that are only available on-site.

But the show is more than just exhibitors promoting their destinations. 

It's culture - dance and musical troupes from many nations appearing on the World Beats Stage. 

It's food - learn how to make authentic spicy dishes from around the globe at the Fiery Foods kitchen. 

It's learning how to travel better from globetrotting experts like Travel Channel's Samantha Brown and Patricia Schultz, author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die.

You can zip line, scuba, rock climb... even ride a camel.

Can you think of a better way to spend a cold, wintery weekend in January than planning a vacation?
