Just returned from 4 action packed days at the Oasis and Signature Travel Network Sales Meetings and Trade Show in Las Vegas!
Had the opportunity to meet and network with some of the top travel suppliers in the world including Abercrombrie & Kent, Crystal Cruise Lines, Disney Adventures, and Ama Riverboat Cruises.
We enjoyed a Cocktail reception that was hosted by Norwegian Cruise Lines and Europe Express. During this reception we learned about the latest upcoming travel products from our reps of these two suppliers.
Sales meetings and seminars for agents were put on by our top suppliers in order for us to learn and/or refresh our knowledge on their existing products as well as unveil their latest new products so that we can pass along this information to our valued clients.
After the seminars, the big trade show was on! This gave us a chance to speak directly with worldwide Hoteliers, Tour operator representatives, and Regional Managers who are instrumental in helping us build our businesses. A strong partnership with our suppliers is the key to our success. These important alliances with our suppliers offer our clients invaluable resources and connections that they can never match if they book their trips on their own.
Figi Airlines and Figi Tourist Board hosted a wonderful cocktail reception where they transformed the entire ballroom. We got a fabulous taste of Fiji while in Vegas, including the dancers!
While enjoying another hosted dinner, we listened to the key note speaker Diana Nyad speak. This 65 year old woman won international fame when she sucessfully swam from Cuba to Florida last year in 2013. She was a terrific, inspirational speaker.
The last night of this event, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines hosted a lovely dinner. We were presented with the latest news on these 2 fantastic cruise lines. To top the evening off, an awesome Begees cover band rocked the night away for the nightly entertainment.
Among the attendees we sat with at this dinner were a hotelier from the Cook Islands and a representative from the Scandinavian Tourist Board. We met people who travelled from all over the globe to share about their countries, hotels, tours, and travel experiences that they can offer to our clients.
And to end the trip, you can’t go to Vegas without seeing one of their world class shows. The Michael Jackson’s ONE show put on by Cirque du Soleil is OFF THE CHARTS!
Look forward to attending this event again next year to learn more about the latest and greatest offered in the tourism industry!
