Xola Talks Adventure with American Association of Retired People (AARP)

(Santa Fe, NM) September 29th, 2010 – Xola Consulting’s Christina Heyniger spoke on a panel moderated by Peter Greenberg, travel editor for BCS news and Emmy award winning investigative reporter, at the American Association of Retired People’s (AARP) annual event in Orlando Florida – called Orlando@50. Approximately 25,000 members from around the U.S. attended the event for three days of seminars and exhibits.

The session, entitled “Ecotourism – Exciting Travel that Helps the Planet, drew a crowd of over 300 AARP members. Christina, Peter and co-panelist Tad Bradley from Wildland Adventures discussed topics that were very much in line with AARP’s mission to “lead the revolution in the way people view and live life.” It is hoped that they will inspire more AARP members to consider an ecotourism vacation next time they travel.
