COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WORTH THE FLIGHT

Katie Hammel, Content Marketing Director at Going, is looking for pitches:

I am still looking for pitches for Worth the Trip, Going's weekly newsletter highlighting amazing, one-of-a-kind experiences around the world (e.g. experiences that only exist in one place). These should highlight ONE *specific* activity/experience that any traveler can do.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• the *best place* to see this animal
• the *only hotel* that has this feature
• the *only* place in the world you can do this thing

WHAT WE'RE NOT:

• reasons to visit a place
• a personal story that happened to you
• coverage of an entire city

EXAMPLES:

• Waitomo Glowworm Caves: New Zealand’s Bioluminescent Caves Only Accessible by Boat: https://going.com/guides/waitomo-glowworm-caves-new-zealand
• Mount Ijen: The Indonesian Volcano With Blue Lava and Sulfur Mines: https://going.com/guides/mount-ijen-indonesia
• Big Island, Hawai’i: Night Dive With Reef Manta Rays: https://going.com/guides/big-island-hawaii-manta-rays

Generally around 800 words, pay starts at $250.

Pitch here: https://hello-going.typeform.com/to/wRko8ni6 It's an ongoing weekly series so we commission a batch every other month and need to cover the world, so if you don't hear back right away we still might commission it in the future.

The pitches most likely to get chosen explain exactly what the exp is and why THIS ONE is the best one (e.g. if it's whale watching, why HERE and not one of the other 20 places you can do it?). They should also be accessible experiences; they can be pricey or remote, but not $20,000.
