Governor’s Conference on Tourism brings top international tour operators to Reno
Nevada businesses and destinations attending the Governor’s Conference on Tourism, Oct. 27-29, will have the opportunity to meet with nearly 40 tour operators, receptive operators, wholesalers, and airlines from around the world at the conference’s ever-popular sales marketplace.
The two-hour marketplace will take place Oct. 29 at the Atlantis Resort Casino Spa in Reno, Nev., and will provide Nevadans one-on-one appointments with buyers from Brazil, China, Mexico, South Korea, and the United States. The sales component of the conference has become a highlight for attendees, providing them an opportunity to pitch their business or destination to the decision-makers for international tour operators.
“Sales professionals attend marketplace-style trade shows all over the world in order to meet the operators we have attending the Governor’s Conference on Tourism,” Claudia Vecchio, director of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, said. “Previous years’ marketplaces have led to the creation of a special Nevada Sesquicentennial tour, and to a tour operator including Nevada destinations outside of Las Vegas for the first time ever for that operator. This is a lucrative opportunity, and we’re bringing it to the front door of our tourism partners, all they have to do is register for the conference.”
