LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 11, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Following the success of the 2011 event, Unicomm, the nation's largest travel show producer, is pleased to announce the return of the Travel & Adventure Show(TM) to the Long Beach Convention Center ( www.latravelshow.com/ ). Strategically located between L.A. and Orange Counties, the show is expected to draw record-breaking attendance from the Southern California mega-market, as well as exhibitors from around the globe.

An invaluable source for travel enthusiasts, the expo features seminars by world class travel experts, hundreds of knowledgeable representatives from domestic and international destinations, and exciting hands-on activities for extra vacation inspiration.

"Not only are we excited to bring the show back to its original location in Long Beach, our long-time travel exhibitors are as well. We have hundreds of exhibitors already signed up to be at the show based on our strong content, new location, and new media partners," said Unicomm CEO John Golicz. "This means SoCal Travel Enthusiasts will see the same great event in a more convenient location," continued Golicz.

This year's line-up of speakers includes such celebrated travel personalities as Samantha Brown, Andrew Zimmern, Peter Greenberg, Pauline Frommer, Mark DeCarlo, and Patricia Schultz. Samantha Brown is known as the fun-loving host of Travel Channel Shows including "Passport to Europe" and "Samantha Brown's Great Getaways." Andrew Zimmern, also a Travel Channel favorite, can be seen sampling strange cuisine around the world on "Bizarre Foods." Peter Greenberg is an award-winning travel expert and book author, whose many hats include travel editor of CBS News and host of Peter Greenberg Worldwide. Pauline Frommer, together with her father Arthur, founded an award-winning line of travel guide books. Mark DeCarlo is an authority on good eats across the nation, the author of A Fork on the Road and the Travel Channel show "Taste of America with Mark DeCarlo." Patricia Schultz penned the bestselling guide 1,000 Places to See Before you Die -- which was adapted into a Travel Channel Show with Schultz as producer -- and has contributed to many travel books and publications.

The show will feature over 450+ exhibitors representing some of the world's best destinations including Guam, Maui Tourism, Tourism Fiji, Yosemite, Alaska, and Tanzania all offering exclusive specials and trip giveaways.
