Florida Sales Mission 2024

Participate in person on this whirlwind sales mission through Florida!  On this five-day journey that takes us from Orlando to Miami, we will make sales calls with receptive tour operators and wholesalers.

In Orlando we will speak to wholesalers and tour operators that handle mostly European and South American inbound business, but also meet operators that handle Indian leisure group customers and FITs. Once in Miami, we will meet with MICE and leisure group operators largely.

Included in this sales mission are a minimum of 16 pre-scheduled sales appointments. Each sales appointment is scheduled to last for approximately 60-90 minutes, with each participant being given 5 minutes to speak about their product or destination. Additional time will be allocated for questions and answers

NON-COMPETITIVE PARTICIPANTS

Note: Great care is placed to have our sales missions joined by non-competing service providers or destinations. This allows us to provide buyers with a range experiences that complement another. Should a second buyer want to join a sales mission that competes with a buyer that has already signed up for a sales mission, we may not be able to accept the reservation to ensure the best-possible outcome for our participants.
