Nearly 4,800 attendees gathered for the U.S. Travel Association’s 53rd annual IPW trade event, held from June 4-8 in Orlando, Fla.
Travel professionals from more than 60 countries — representing U.S. destinations, hotels, attractions, sports teams, cruise lines, airlines and transportation companies, along with international tour operators, buyers and wholesalers — attended 77,000 scheduled business appointments over three days.
“This IPW is sending a message that the U.S. is open for business and eager to welcome travelers from around the world,” said Roger Dow, president and CEO of U.S. Travel. “We are taking a huge step forward here to bring back international travel, restore jobs and re-establish the bonds that connect our countries and cultures.”
Next year’s IPW will take place in San Antonio, Texas, from May 20-24.
