Select the country and object's type WTTC to Cohost Inaugural Travel Association Summit at The PhoCusWright Conference

PhoCusWright, the travel industry research authority and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the authority on world Travel & Tourism, will cohost the inaugural Travel Association Summit@The PhoCusWright Conference, 15-17 November 2011 in Hollywood, FL USA (Ft. Lauderdale/Miami).

The PhoCusWright Conference annually attracts over 1,200 senior executives from 30+ countries to debate, discuss and define the future of travel. Associations representing a diverse range of sectors, geographies and objectives will collaborate to meet common goals and collectively advance the global travel, tourism and hospitality industry.

PhoCusWright’s partnership with WTTC amplifies the event’s impact, forging lasting relationships among associations that will continue to yield dividends long after the gathering.

“As the world’s largest industry continues to evolve, travel industry trade associations are faced with new challenges in growing membership, building revenue streams and getting their message heard,” said Philip Wolf, Chairman of PhoCusWright.

“The Travel Association Summit will explore common ground and leverage economies of scale to foster efficient collaboration on shared goals – liberating individual associations to devote more of their own resources to meeting their niche objectives,” said WTTC President & CEO David Scowsill.

The PhoCusWright Conference takes place 15-17 November 2011 in Hollywood, FL USA (Ft. Lauderdale/Miami). Travel Association Summit attendees will collaborate during a private luncheon on Tuesday 15 November 2011 and a targeted working session on Wednesday morning, 16 November.
