On Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 September as many as 120 travel agents were guests in Amersfoort and Breda for an informative USA afternoon and evening. 23 enthusiastic Visit USA members were ready to tell the travel agents all about traveling to the United States.
Speed dating sessions
During the eight-minute speeddate sessions, the travel agents had the opportunity to have conversations with the various members. From cruises, RVs and airlines to USA destinations – everything was covered. In addition to being able to gain inspiration, the speed dating sessions can lay the foundation for valuable collaborations and business opportunities.
Roadtripping in the USA
This year’s road shows were all about roadtripping through the USA. The travel agents were given a passport booklet with useful information about Visit USA and the participating members. A great passport to have at hand and to collect stamps from the members during the roadshow. The locations were also decorated in road trip style, to get right into the roadtrip mood.
Inspiring day
The program started at 14:00 and lasted until 20:30, including a delicious dinner. There was also an introduction to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the official sponsor of the roadshow. In addition to a head full of new ideas for travel to the U.S., a number of travel agents went home with well-filled goodie bags, which were raffled off at the end of the day.
