NTA Facilitates Industry Meeting on Theater Issues
July 25, 2007 –On July 19, a diverse group of tour operators, theater owners, producers and ticket agencies met to discuss issues related to group visitation on Broadway.

Participants in the two-hour meeting talked about group seating issues, ticket purchases and refunds and motorcoach drop off and parking issues in a wide-ranging discussion. NTA facilitated this session in response to tour operator concern that Broadway policies and procedures were impairing their ability to sell group theater product.

"This meeting is an example of NTA serving as a bridge-builder on behalf of the packaged travel industry," said NTA Chairman and CEO Randy Julian. "The spirit of cooperation in the meeting was exciting to witness and I feel that participants left with a better understanding of all the issues surrounding group theater travel. It was indeed a win-win for everyone involved."

NTA will keep you posted through "This Just In" and in Tuesday when updates on next steps or future meetings are announced.
