A limited number of CHRIS press registrations are distributed to credentialed press. Requests for press registrations will be reviewed on a case by case basis and must be approved by CHRIS organizers in advance of the event.
To be considered, press must meet all of the guidelines below:
- Work for a legitimate news organization that covers the hotel, tourism, real estate or financial industry. These news outlets must have a relation to the hotel investment/development community, and work samples may be requested.
- Carry the title of full time writer, journalist, editor, or correspondent. Non-reporting employees of news agencies are not eligible for press passes.
- News must be distributed via print, electronically, television, or radio broadcast. Blogs, social media accounts, and personal/corporate websites are not considered news organizations.
- You must be able to provide audited circulation statistics, if requested, along with a copy of your latest publication.
- Provide a copy of your business card.
- If you are a freelance writer, you must provide a letter of assignment from the editor of the assigning publication on its masthead.
Returning press may be requested to submit new verification materials for review prior to approval.
