As someone who was sent to a lot of these trips, they're not that great most of the time. I can't comment on Netflix, but it's usually a short stay at a fancy place with all the nice amenities, but the time spent travelling and listening to the sales pitches isn't worth it.
I pity the journo that would be bought that easily.

I've heard of motorcycle companies holding press reviews in Nevada (which has a lot of good off-road test terrain, to be fair) and giving every magazine journalist a few hundred bucks worth of chips to play at the casino.
