Invitation and Hosting Requirements

Welcome travel media. The Cedar City~Brian Head Tourism & Convention Bureau would like to extend an invitation to visit our area on assignment. Our staff is available to assist with story ideas, photography, itinerary recommendations, tours, destination contacts, meals and lodging. Journalists are advised to make their own arrangements for air travel and for a rental car (in some cases we can secure media rates for you).

The Cedar City~Brian Head Tourism Bureau will pre-qualify print and broadcast journalists to participate in self-guided or escorted group FAM tours.

Before contacting us, please read the sections below. By giving us as much information as possible will help expedite your request and help us assist you with your specific story needs. We can advise you on your itinerary, let you know what's new and suggest places to go and contacts to talk to.
