Seminar Details
The most recent ETC/UNWTO study of the US outbound market is the springboard for this seminar organised jointly with ETOA. The session brings together the leading lights of UNWTO, ETC, ETOA and USTOA, as well as major operators. The US is one of Europe’s longest standing and most important markets and this event will be of interest to anyone who either already works with this market or is interested in the opportunities the country represents. In addition the seminar will highlight the role of WTM as a market forum where European inbound tourism business is conducted. A press release with an executive summary and bullet points of the main findings of the survey will also be distributed during the seminar.
Organised by: European Tour Operators Association (ETOA), European Travel Commission (ETC), World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
