Starting Friday, the biggest travel-trade event in New England takes place; the Boston Globe Travel Show at the Seaport World Trade Center in, you guessed it, Boston.  If it’s anything like its sister show in New York, you won’t want to miss this.

Friday is trade day and is filled with some really cool panels and presentations.  I am honored to have been asked to participate on a panel so be sure to come and see me. My panel is at 1:30pm and is entitled “Choosing a Niche – and Why.” Come learn why specialization is the key to survival in this economy.  I’ll be sharing some neat statistics from Tripology. Come see me, give me your card and ask for $50 in Tripology credits and I’ll give them to you, but only if you ask me immediately after my panel at the show.

Other than seeing and hearing yours truly, here are some other reasons to attend:

1. Connect with 250 destinations, hoteliers, cruise lines, and tour operators to learn about new products and travel opportunities
2. Enjoy special offers and agent incentives
3. Participate in the networking reception
4. The Conference Program broken into three consecutive tracks – Product Seminars, Marketing Seminars, and Sales Training Seminars – covered by 25 top industry experts.

So, what else do you have to do on Friday? Before you start listing the reasons you can’t come, STOP. In case you haven’t noticed, this is not a time for “business as usual.”   Come to the show.  It is worth the time and effort.
