U.S. Travel Association, together with Brand USA, welcomes travel professionals and media in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 52nd IPW.
IPW started with the traditional press brunch. Füsun Töre represents ftnnews.com at IPW 2021 that is taking place September 18-22, at the Las Vegas Convention Center (West Building) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
IPW showcases U.S. suppliers of USA travel products and destinations and attracts international and domestic travel buyers and journalists representing more than 70 countries.
“It is with great gratitude and long-awaited anticipation that we kick off this year’s show.
After more than a year of incredible loss, our industry has never looked more united. We are thrilled to reconnect with our travel colleagues face-to-face over the next few days—igniting new business and inspiring a fierce comeback for international inbound travel, an effort that we will achieve through our work together.
Here in Las Vegas, we have an opportunity to transform the trajectory of travel in the weeks, months and years ahead—and serve as a model for restarting international travel and for conducting safe meetings and events. This week, we will welcome more than 2,600 delegates, including 700 international attendees. This is a tremendous feat and the first international travel trade show to take place in-person since early last year.
As the nation’s destination marketing organization, Brand USA inspires people around the world to experience the United States’ diverse destinations and attractions, from our most iconic destinations to our small-town gems and everything in between,” commented Roger Dow, President & CEO of U.S. Travel Association.
