NYSTIA's 2019 events set new highs for attendance, member engagement and, most importantly, member satisfaction! We've got great plans to raise the bar even higher for 2020.
We'll be announcing more details in the weeks to come, but SAVE THE DATES now. You will want to join your colleagues from across the state at these events:
- NEW YORK STATE TOURISM CONFERENCE:
- April 22 to 24, 2020 at the Renaissance Westchester Hotel, Westchester County.
- ANNUAL MEETING & TOURISM EXCELLENCE AWARDS:
- September 24 & 25, 2020 at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel, Chautauqua County.
Stay tuned for plans for outreach and advocacy as we begin planning for the next legislative session.
You'll also want to get a jump on your local plans associated with these U.S. Travel national dates:
- National Plan Your Vacation Day:
- January 28, 2020
- Last year Americans failed to use 768,000,000 vacation days, and actually forfeited 236,000,000 days - $65 BILLION in lost benefits. Make plans to convince your consumers to plan for 2020 vacations and include your destination in 2020 travel plans.
