Peter Greenberg Biography

Peter Greenberg is a prominent American travel news journalist and a multiple Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and producer. Greenberg has built a career spanning decades across major broadcast networks, beginning as the travel correspondent for ABC's "Good Morning America," where he established a reputation in travel journalism. He later served as Travel Editor for NBC's "Today," CNBC, and MSNBC, contributing to travel news coverage and industry analysis. Greenberg started his journalism career as West Coast correspondent for Newsweek in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Known in the industry as The Travel Detective, Greenberg is the Travel Editor for CBS News and appears on "CBS Mornings," "CBS Evening News," and "Sunday Morning." He hosts the television show "The Travel Detective with Peter Greenberg" on Public Television, providing travel information, insider tips, and in-depth reports on the travel industry. Greenberg also hosts a series of one-hour global television specials called "HIDDEN," which highlight destinations and experiences not typically found in guidebooks, with episodes covering locations such as Turkey, Poland, the Canary Islands, Uganda, Belize, Saudi Arabia, and Ireland. On radio, he hosts the nationally syndicated CBS News "Eye on Travel," broadcast weekly from various locations worldwide and heard on CBS radio stations across the United States.

Greenberg's Emmy Award honors include a national Emmy Award for Best Investigative Reporting for his ABC "20/20" special on the final orphan flight out of Vietnam, "What Happened to the Children?" He also received a News & Documentary Emmy Award as part of the Dateline team for coverage of "Miracle on the Hudson." Greenberg produces and co-hosts "The Royal Tour," a series of national public television specials featuring heads of state as guides, including the King of Jordan, the Prime Ministers of Jamaica and New Zealand, and the President of Mexico.

Greenberg is the author of the New York Times best-selling "Travel Detective" series. His publications include "The Best Places for Everything" and "Don't Go There: The Travel Detective's Essential Guide to the Must-Miss Places of the World." In "The Traveler's Diet," he shares insights on maintaining health while traveling. Greenberg contributes to AARP The Magazine, The New Yorker, and Parade, among other publications, offering expertise in travel trends, consumer advocacy, and destination reporting.

Travel Weekly recognized Greenberg as one of the most influential people in travel, and he was inducted into the U.S. Travel Association Hall of Leaders for his contributions to the travel industry. He has received the Distinguished Service Award in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin and an Excellence in Broadcasting Award from the Aviation Space Writers Association of America. Greenberg regularly travels extensively and participates in aircraft simulator training to maintain his expertise in travel safety and aviation. In addition to his journalism work, Greenberg serves as a volunteer fireman in New York.
