New Market! Your NYSTIA Tourism Champions Booth in Erie, PA!

Your NYS Tourism Champions exhibit booth was at the inaugural AAA Erie Vacation Expo at the Bayfront Convention Center. The one-day event, which took place on March 16th, had good attendance for its first-ever show. We were given a large space in the middle of the show, flanked by other New York State destinations. There was a lot of interest in exploring your new state and looking for unique outdoor, family-friendly experiences.

The show was a family affair. Many families, including retired couples, came through the booth with their kids to take an extended vacation in New York State. They were excited to learn about all the outdoor experiences New York State has, from hiking trails to fishing across the state. It was fantastic talking to attendees about the great trip they can take driving across the state!

It is a valuable learning experience to meet travel intenders, answer their questions about New York State destinations, and share possible itinerary ideas. With this in mind, we are inviting NYSTIA members to join us in the Tourism Champions Booth at travel shows throughout the year. We generally have at least two exhibitor passes available per day per show. Join us for a day or for the full event!
