Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State of Nevada conducts familiarization tours as a tool to showcase the State to tour operators and media. The best way for tour operators to sell tours to Nevada is to see and experience the product themselves. When they tour the State, they obtain firsthand knowledge of what Nevada has to offer so they can better reflect those offerings in their tours. Likewise, the best way for a travel journalist to write about Nevada is to see it firsthand. In fact, most journalists will not write about a destination they have not personally seen. Competitive pricing is essential in selecting a vendor(s), as is the level of service. A large portion of time during tours is spent in a vehicle traveling from town-to-town, so the transportation must be considered part of the experience that is being showcased, as well as the activities. Transportation for tours typically requires motor coach, mini bus, or large passenger vehicles to accommodate ten (10) or more passengers.
