Rhode Island to Host New NTA Tour Operator Event

June 22, 2010

Mark your calendar to attend CONTACT, NTA’s newest tour operator event, August 1-3, 2011, in Newport, Rhode Island. One of a suite of member-driven events, CONTACT is designed for professional education and casual networking.

CONTACT-developed by a committee of NTA members-offers three educational tracks built to address the three main areas of running a tour company:

• CEO/owner
• Sales and marketing
• Operations

Accommodations will be at the Newport Marriott, which sits waterfront facing the Harbor with a view of Rhode Island’s famous sailboats. The rate for tour operators to attend is US$169.

This is also a wonderful opportunity to explore Rhode Island. A pre-FAM tour with a culinary theme is being offered before the event, and the opening Icebreaker will be held at the stunning, historic Rosecliff Mansion, which has served as the background for scenes from movies like "The Great Gatsby," "True Lies" and "Amistad."

Suppliers and DMOs: Put your company front and center at CONTACT ’11 through sponsorship. Sponsoring is the best way to leave a lasting impression with the attending operators and set you apart from your competitors. Sponsors receive complimentary registrations to attend, plus sponsor benefits perfectly designed to promote your organization to industry buyers.
