Hear What the Industry Has to Say about TravelSMG Events:
"Attending the European Travel Agent Forum was a game changer for my travel business. After the event, I connected with suppliers and created a group tour itinerary. I wasn’t the easiest travel agent to work with but working with the suppliers I met with at the 2019 event helped me grow my business in ways that I have only dreamed of."

"Romance Travel Forum and Travel Show Marketing Group events are my favorite travel agent show/events that I have attended. I appreciate that they are always seeking out new, relevant content and really in it for the success of the travel agent. I love that it is an exclusive event, where the size makes it possible to have the opportunity to network with your peers as well as get to know a variety of suppliers. The education piece stands out to me where they think of every part of your business (front and back office) and make learning and asking questions not intimidating with the variety sessions and smaller peer group discussions. I truly believe that these events have changed my business and restored my confidence, my outlook, and challenged me to grow and evolve which resulted in record breaking years of sales. This is not your standard trade show... I highly recommend attending!"

Grupo Xcaret
"Events hosted by TSMG build relationships which in turn grow your business. Once you step into that first event and start meeting other like-minded business-people, your energy level and passion for your travel business goes from 0 to 100. Building relationships with vendors that you didn’t even know existed and obtaining a stronger connection with those you have only seen on an email interface gets you more comfortable doing business with all of the partners in travel. Once you have that success of learning from the vendors and asking the easy and hard questions, the rapport that you have obtained carries over to each client that you serve knowing the products that you are selling even better. We are in the people business and there is no better way to sell to the people than knowing the people behind the products."

"The European Travel Agent Forum is a great way to make connections with suppliers that are good at what they do but don’t belong to a major consortium. It is a great platform to learn about hidden gem suppliers to help grow your agency business."

"The European Travel Agent Forum presents me with the opportunity to meet face to face with suppliers and tour operators, initiating business relationships that develop into friendships, that benefit my customers, the suppliers and myself. The Forum also presents me with an opportunity to meet with other like-minded travel advisors and to share our best practices with each other. It’s a win – win for everyone involved."
