Media Admission Policy

  • All media must be pre-approved before filming.
  • We require certificate of insurance, permits and location release forms to be signed in advance.
  • GO RIO is proud to offer a news media admission policy that enables working media to become familiar with the destination's various feature opportunities. We extend tickets as a professional courtesy and consider requests on a case-by-case basis based on news outlets and market through traditional and social channels. This courtesy is extended to active members of the news media only.
  • Qualifying media may request up to four (4) single-day tickets once per calendar year. The single-day ticket request may be for our narrated cruise or shuttle service.
  • Requests must be received during normal business hours at least 72 hours prior to the intended visit date. All requests will receive a response from GO RIO regardless of the outcome.

Requests for tickets will only be considered for those in news-gathering positions. Examples include:

We are unable to provide admission to those not employed in a news-gathering role, such as sales, promotions, programming, clerical/administrative, graphic arts, engineering, or public relations/communications staff.

Due to the popularity of certain events and time frames, GO RIO reserves the right to block out dates for media passes.
