Vegas & SoCal Sales Mission 2024

On this five-day sales mission to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, we will make 16 or more sales calls with receptive tour operators and wholesalers, covering international markets including Germany, France, China, Korea, Germany, Japan and Taiwan. Business comes in the form of leisure groups, student travelers, FITs, and MICE.  In addition, you will have an opportunity to present to Chinese receptive tour operators during a luncheon for additional exposure and to network with clients.

Included on this sales mission are 16 or more pre-scheduled sales appointments and a Chinese client luncheon with additional networking and presentation opportunities. Each sales appointment is scheduled to last for approximately 1 hour, with every participant being given 5 minutes to speak about their product or destination. We will be traveling between appointments by van. 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.
