Press Trips and FAM tours have been around for years. Popular with some writers, not so much with others, they have always generated discussion about how ethicial they are.
Sheila Scarborough, one of my blogging colleagues over at Perceptive Travel blog, who has recently been on a couple of 'blogger' FAM tours - one to Kansas and one to Hawaii - raises these issues in an interesting and thought provoking post Are blogger fam trips a good idea or are they Jurassic PR?
It's a post that all travel writers should read.
