Incentive Travel Exchange Update: Fifth Annual Event a Success!

By Alicia Evanko, Event Director, The Travel Group

We are fresh back from Incentive Travel Exchange, in partnership with Site, and we are delighted with the great response we have received already! More than 6,000 appointments were conducted and a record number of RFPs submitted. We had interactive networking functions including a Wii Tournament, Viva ELVIS Cirque du Soleil, an evening of excess at XS-The NightClub at Encore and Fiesta Fantastica, sponsored by Mexico Tourism Board. And a special thank you to China Star Professional Programs for sponsoring the Wednesday Breakfast. We enjoyed learning about China Star from Liu Ping (pictured here), David Liu Yanxiang and Nigel Bramich!

The success of this year’s Incentive Travel Exchange is a testament to the strength of this industry. For the third year, we have sold out participation. We are grateful to Our partner, Site, who continue to invest countless hours educating the media, politicians and other sectors outside of our industry on the importance of rewarding top performers and the role incentives play to our economy. Site’s Chief Executive Officer reports, “Year after year Incentive Travel Exchange delivers a high quality program that leaves its particpants pleased and looking forward to the next event.” View the post-event release here.
