Diversity and Inclusion
Travel Classics welcomes qualified writers of all ethnicities and backgrounds. Because Travel Classics strives to find an equitable balance between past attendees and new writers, great care will be given in the application review process. We will review all applications during a one-month period and advise writers of their acceptance on or before February 15. Ireland waitlisted attendees will be accepted first. There is a $50 non-refundable application fee unless the writer paid the fee for Ireland ‘23 and was waitlisted.
Complete payment is expected at the time of acceptance in February. If for any reason an applicant decides not to attend the conference, the conference fee will be refunded in full up until May 10, 2023. After May 10, refunds only if and when Travel Classics is able to fill the conference spot, otherwise NO REFUNDS GIVEN. There will be no refunds after July 1, 2023 once the program is complete and tours are arranged. Qualified wait-listed attendees will receive priority for the 2024 Travel Classics West Writers conference in Arizona. See Terms and Conditions for Refund Schedule.
