Dear Writer,

On behalf of the Rosarito Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, I would like to thank you for reviewing one of our media kits and hope that you enjoy what we have to offer. In addition to the media kit I would also like to extend an invitation to our “ Rosarito Beach : The Total Experience” tour. It’s a four-day, three-night “Total Experience” that we will offer four times during the year. 

Rosarito Beach, the jewel of Baja’s Gold Coast, is a scenic 18 miles south of the U.S.- Mexican border and known for its stunning seaside setting, rich history, festive nightlife, Puerto Nuevo lobster village, wonderful shopping and as the setting for movies including as “Titanic” and “Master and Commander.”

Rosarito is the spa capital of Baja, a food lover’s delight plus the home to a thriving community of gifted artists and artisans. Outdoor activities abound including surfing, golf, off-roading, fishing and horseback riding. Rosarito Beach is also the focal point for a building boom attracting thousands of people from the U.S. and around the world. Currently, about 14,000 expatriates call Rosarito their home.

The Total Experience is designed for writers to sample a “taste” of it all. Available stories range from general travel articles to ones on culture, history, spas, arts and crafts, outdoor recreation, food and many more. Writers stay at the world-famous Rosarito Beach Hotel, which has hosted celebrities from Marilyn Monroe to Frank Sinatra to Britney Spears including royalty from around the world.

Activities will include a visit to XPloration (formerly Fox Studios), spa sessions at the gorgeous Las Rocas Resort & Spa, a Puerto Nuevo lobster dinner, area tours and cultural attractions. Activities are coordinated but allow writers time to pursue individual interests, as well as just relax, enjoy the ocean setting or simply shop.

“Rosarito Beach: The Total Experience” is open to published writers with a firm letter of assignment from an editor. Writers representing travel magazines, publications with circulations of 100,000 or more and those based in the Southwest will be given preference.

What’s included: Lodging; scheduled breakfasts, lunches and dinners; Xploration tour; and transportation to activities (also shuttle service from San Diego to Rosarito Beach and back if needed). What’s not included: airfare, gratuities and miscellaneous expenses. Accommodations can be shared by one guest per writer, but guest expenses other than lodging will not be covered.

If interested, please submit a letter of assignment (please include a brief description of publication, editor contact information and estimated publication date) and three clips to Jesus Santos (jesus@rosarito.org) at least three weeks before the scheduled tour, indicating which trip you would like to join. Early application is encouraged.

Sincerely,

Laura Wong
