What is the DIY Trip Summit?

30+ travel experts share insider tips in a 3-day online event focused on DIY trip planning for first time travel to East and Southeast Asia.

Attendees gain clear, actionable advice to create itineraries and travel smarter in 2027 - no special tech expertise required.

The Summit is free to attend (to get you maximum visibility).

Key features include:
- 3 days of pre-recorded sessions
- Daily live Zoom calls featuring expert panelists
- A pop up Facebook group community
- Virtual gift bag of digital freebies for all attendees
- ‘First Class Pass’ upgrade bundle for extended replay access and premium bonuses

Our Attendees

We primarily target mature, independent travelers (40+) in North America.

DIY travelers want to do their own online trip research, yet they’re eager for expert guidance and often look for on-the-ground support through local tours, private guides, and logistical services.

That’s where you come in!

While making the most of their time and money is a priority, these travelers have disposable income and a willingness to splurge when it comes to safety, uniqueness, guided excursions, and local expertise.
