2012 ATWS Marketplace

Engage new business partners with pre-set appointments in a productive atmosphere at the 2012 Marketplace.

Networking is a vital element of the ATTA’s annual Summit events. To complement the fun and relaxed networking environment of the Day of Adventure, the goal of the 2012 Marketplace is to facilitate business relationships specifically between ATTA Member Suppliers (high quality inbound tour operators) and Buyers (outbound tour operators, wholesalers, and specialty travel agents).

Our marketplace emphasizes quality over quantity – and is shaped by feedback from past Summit delegates. An effective day will consist of pre-scheduled meetings, each lasting 17 minutes, which provides ample time for meaningful interaction and is conducive for sampling an array of tour product in the 2012 Marketplace.

Arrive prepared. Walk away satisfied.

• Advance networking and Supplier/Buyer Directories on Summit Connections – the exclusive online community for delegates
• Easy-to-use Appointment Request Forms for Buyers and Suppliers
• Meeting schedules delivered personally via email
• Tables organized by Region
• Marketplace “How To” briefing prior to start
• An ATTA Help Desk on site

The 2012 Marketplace will feature 100 inbound tour operators, accommodations and sponsor destinations from around the world in a comfortable setting ideal for introductions, learning about new opportunities and engaging in product development discussions.

Booking Appointments

The only way to schedule meetings in the 2012 Marketplace is to complete the Appointment Request Form during the appointment request window: Aug 17 – Sept 7, 2012.

Suppliers submit one Appointment Request Form and receive one schedule of meetings per table. For this reason, shared tables are discouraged. Buyers may submit one Appointment Request Form per delegate. Starting Aug 17th, registered 2012 Marketplace participants will have access to Appointment Request forms along with Supplier and Buyer Directories on Summit Connections – Coming Soon!. If you do not receive access to the forms by the above date, please contact info@adventuretravel.biz.

Appointment Request forms accepted ONLY from Aug 17 – Sept 7, 2012.
