The Travel Scout Program
An initiative that enables content creators 'travel scouts' to travel for free; in exchange for the content assets they create.
Travel Scouts claim assignments that could include anything from staying overnight at a variety of accommodations like guesthouses, b&bs, tent campsites, cabins, or unique structures; exploring a world heritage site in a multi-day group tour; or joining an experience or activity.
What Do Travel Scouts Do?
As a travel scout, you are responsible for providing content assets that capture the assignment brief, as well as your experience of adventuring in the area[s] the brief visits. Your content helps to set expectations for travellers who may want to use the tourism business you are collaborating with or visit the area, that you have just experienced.

It’s solely the travel scout’s responsibility to arrive at and depart from their destination. So plan far enough ahead to get good discounts etc.
