Travel Market 2022 Review
Greetings TRAVELSAVERS Advisors!
First, I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season! And since this is my last article prior to the New Year, I would also like to offer my very best wishes for a prosperous and healthy 2023!
We’ve just recently wrapped up Travel Market 2022 at Resorts World in Las Vegas, which was held from October 27-30, 2022. We had a magnificent turn out with over 800 registrants along with many supplier partners and various teams and business units from the American Marketing Group.
Global Trade Show Entrance
If you missed this 50th anniversary event, well let me just say it was stunning, exciting and jam-packed full of educational seminars, networking opportunities, cocktail parties, excellent food and entertainment options as well. Of course, Las Vegas being the host city, it was a never-ending smorgasbord of things to keep everyone busy outside of the conference schedule with never a dull moment!
Advisors learning about the TSA Hotel Program at the Hotel Pavilion during the Global Trade Show
Thursday kicked off with registration, followed by the workshop sessions. Sessions included learning more about the TRAVELSAVERS Preferred Hotel Program, Agent Extranet, Travel Tix, tripXpress, KORE and even a social media success panel discussion. That evening, an elegant welcome reception was held in the Promenade. Off to Friday, it was rise and shine early with breakfast followed by the General Session. This session featured motivational speakers as well as the President of CLIA, Kelly Craighead. Zane Kerby, ASTA President and CEO also joined us for this session. Further workshops were held before lunch and then the Global Trade Show highlighted the afternoon.
Travel Market 2022 Awards Gala Entrance Area
There was so much to see, do and learn at the trade show, including visiting 10 of our hotel partners in our fun hotel pavilion! Friday night was a free night for attendees to see a show, sightsee or enjoy a relaxing dinner on the strip. After the Saturday general session and lunch, the early afternoon stage was set with our Preferred Supplier Experiences where our preferred partners ‘wowed’ us with interactive and immersive experiences showcasing their products. The formal Gala Awards Dinner, followed by dancing, rounded out the conference as AMG celebrated 50+ years in business.
It was nice to meet many of you at the conference and I look forward to continuing to support you and your business in the future. We’re committed to ensuring that our success is a direct result of the great partnership and success you achieve through the use of our products and services here at TRAVELSAVERS.
