Transcription

1 September 18-20, 2019 Astor Crowne Plaza French Quarter New Orleans, LA TravelIndustryExchange.com Within the first 10 appointments we had several solid opportunities and continued to meet with agents that were SERIOUS ABOUT DOING BUSINESS. MICHAEL HAWE, ISLE INN TOURS EVENT PROSPECTUS

2 TRAVEL INDUSTRY EXCHANGE will put your brand in front of pre-qualified travel agents who are ready to book business. This incredible event, organized by the publishers of Travel Agent and Luxury Travel Advisor, the most trusted publications in the industry, will offer suppliers up to 30 one-to-one, pre-scheduled appointments. And since all the participating agents are vetted in advance to suit your needs, everyone who attends is there to book business, and immerse themselves in product-related education. As a fully hosted buyer event, no-show agents are not an option, so your day can be spent making connections and building relationships via appointments with agents you choose to meet with. No waiting around at empty booths for potential walk-up meetings. Top Reasons to Attend Hours of Valuable Face Time Inclusive of up to 30 one-to-one appointments and your panel presentation. Top Producing Agents Pre-qualified agents based in the US and Canada. Product Specialization Conference Travel Industry Exchange offers a product-focused conference, allowing suppliers the opportunity to speak on a panel, sponsor a session, or even host a session on your own! Our comprehensive yet intimate conference will bring pre-qualified travel agents, managers, and owners to participate in valuable education programs. Plus, none of the sessions take place during the one-to-one appointments, enabling suppliers uninterrupted face time during their meetings. Informative Conference Sessions No sessions conflict with one-to-one meeting time. No Speed Dating! Only quality, pre-scheduled appointments that suit your business needs. Meals and Networking Receptions All are included, offering maximum opportunities to connect. I felt that our time here was INCREDIBLY VALUABLE as we connected with agents that were looking to grow their business with us and diversify their portfolio of brands they offered.
