Travel Week Marks Fifth Anniversary

NEW YORK, New York – April 15, 2010. The fifth anniversary of Travel Week will be held from December 7 to 9 in Las Vegas and will solidify the need for a unified week supporting the growth of the travel industry. This weeklong series of events, anchored by the twelfth annual Luxury Travel Expo, expects to deliver more than 7,000 travel industry professionals.

Travel Week is a product of The Travel Group’s foresight to create a gathering place for the travel industry. Launched in 2006, Travel Week has grown to include hundreds of hours of education, more than 500 exhibitors and countless hours of networking. In addition to Luxury Travel Expo, Travel Week events include: Luxury Travel Exchange, the Young Leaders Conference, the Luxury Travel Advisor Awards of Excellence, CTC and CTIE Testing, The Travel Institute Conference, TAU Live!, Leaders in Luxury Awards and the Luxury After Dark Party.

The supplier and travel agent support of Travel Week has been overwhelmingly positive. “At The Travel Group, we celebrate Travel Week’s fifth anniversary as proving we are the location for the travel industry to converge upon year after year,” remarked John McMahon, vice president/group publisher. “We are excited to provide a meeting place that delivers world-class travel events including more educational options, networking opportunities and industry celebrations than ever before!"

As the centerpiece of Travel Week, Luxury Travel Expo is being held from December 7 to 9 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. The show is on track to sell out its exhibit space for the third consecutive year with a record number of suppliers already confirmed. “We are excited to introduce new two events to Travel Week: Luxury Travel Exchange and the Young Leaders Conference,” noted Alicia Evanko, show director. “Being held on December 7, each event meets the demand for increased education and networking for the markets they serve, luxury travel professionals and young travel leaders under the age of 40, respectively.”
