Los
Angeles, CA – May 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Meetings
Quest—the nation’s longest-running series of educational and networking
events for meeting planners—has announced its support for the 34th annual
National Travel and Tourism Week, which is being celebrated May 7–13. During
National Travel and Tourism Week, which is organized by the U.S. Travel
Association, travel and tourism professionals across the country will unite
to celebrate the power of travel and its broad economic impact on policymakers,
business leaders, local media and the communities we live in. In addition
to advocacy efforts throughout the week, Travel Rally Day on May 9 will
feature various events at cities around the country. This year’s theme,
“Faces of Travel,” will shine a spotlight on the people behind our nation’s
travel industry.
When
Meetings Quest is held at the Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa in Atlantic
City, New Jersey, June 28–29, it will reinforce the same principles upon
which National Travel and Tourism Week was established in 1983. Hosted
by Meet AC, Meetings Quest will include
an Opening Celebration, a half-day of hot-topic educational programming
featuring expert presenters, a keynote address by seven-time Olympic medalist
Shannon Miller and an afternoon appointment-based expo.
“Meetings
Quest is proud to support National Travel and Tourism Week,” said Timothy
Schneider, organizer of Meetings Quest. “Whether you’re a destination marketing
organization, a meeting planner or a supplier, being an advocate for travel
helps to ensure the health and vitality of the meetings and events industry.
At Meetings Quest in Atlantic City, we look forward to bringing all of
those key players together for valuable face-to-face interaction.”
“We
look forward to welcoming attendees to Atlantic City for Meetings Quest,”
said Jim Wood, president and CEO of Meet AC. “Travel is an integral component
of our industry and we are pleased that Meetings Quest supports National
Travel and Tourism Week.”
