2020 TTRA International has been canceled

March 27, 2020

As global health concerns surrounding COVID-19 continue to develop and impact our work and families, we are working hard behind the scenes to find the best way to actively support our members. There is nothing more important than the health and safety of our members, their families and our extended travel comrades on every continent. With that said, we’ve made the difficult decision to not have a conference this June. The Marketing Outlook Forum is still scheduled for October in Bethesda, with what is already shaping up to be an outstanding schedule, and one that will have some major research findings relating not only to the current crisis but also how we came together as a community to shape the new paradigm of travel.

While we know it is hard to replace the joy of being together to celebrate 50 years of TTRA, we are planning more ways for our members to connect, including virtual webinars and sessions where we can share our research and experiences. Our Chapters will also provide more local connections.

Stay safe out there.
