RSAA Summit Conference
CTTC Travel Trade Manager Percy Stevens attended the Receptive Services Association of America (RSAA) Annual Summit Conference in New York in February. RSAA provides the opportunity to meet with key operators to introduce the California travel trade kit, build new relationships and expand the exposure of California product. Supplier and receptive tour operator members from across the country gathered for the two-day event that included educational sessions and the popular Summit Marketplace, which provides receptives and suppliers the opportunity to meet for one-on-one 10 minute prescheduled appointments. CTTC met with nine receptive operators, obtaining leads to take back to the industry.
