What they're saying.

The quality of the travel agents at the recent European Travel Forum in Madeira was at the highest level. They were genuine, professional, and eager to learn about our products and services. TravelSMG continues to be the premier travel show that attracts the best travel professionals from the United States.”

Sagres Vacations

TravelSMG brought to Madeira qualified leisure travel agents, that were truly keen to get to know more about the island and to experience first-hand all the destination has to offer! Madeira Promotion Bureau was very pleased with this partnership that will for sure continue!

“This experience is so much more than a Travel Industry conference - it was a true cultural immersion program. We dove deep into multiple destinations around the area, and got to meet Suppliers/Hoteliers one-on-one. This is definitely the best way to dip your toes in and learn all that a destination has to offer.”

VIP Travel Experience

Participating in various TravelSMG events has been extremely beneficial to our sales efforts in Alaska. The shows involve a great deal of pre-qualifying and always deliver volume producing Advisors. We’ve been so impressed we wanted a chance to host the 2023 Owners Forum.

The knowledge I gain and suppliers I meet at TravelSMG events consistently catapult my business to a new level. The team consistently produces forums that are the perfect blend of active discovery, with opportunities to make personal connections with industry leaders. Learning and sharing with my travel colleagues is also a very beneficial. I know my attendance helps me better serve my clients.

There is NO substitute for first-hand knowledge of a destination when booking. There are little things that you just can’t know unless you’ve been there. Gaining this experience gives me greater confidence and sets me apart from other advisors who only have “academic” knowledge of a destination.
