CenStates Travel Spotlight — August 2020

There’s no question the pandemic has forced the travel industry to rethink, rework and relaunch its plans for the year, but with news changing daily and stay at home orders lifting, what has the visitor been up to and what will they do as we head into the fall?

We’ve compiled highlights from research on visitors, the hotel industry, and more to give our members in CenStates direct access to the latest. These insights give a peek of what to expect in the next few months and resources for you and your partners to prepare to make up for lost time during the pandemic.

2020 TTRA International has been canceled

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.
