Hi! I just got back from Grapevine, Texas where I attended the American Bus Association’s 2012 Marketplace – the motorcoach and group travel industry’s premier business event. This is our fourth time going to the marketplace and each time, we build better relationships with the tour operators that come to Cody. During the summer, it’s not unusual to see 20-30 buses in Cody at any given time and Marketplace helps bring them here.
The five days of the show consisted of appointments with selected operators, luncheon and evening networking events, a product pavilion and education seminars covering everything from time management to getting the most out of your smart phone. This year, one of the evening events was held at the newly built Dallas Cowboy football stadium – an impressive building - even for someone who doesn’t care about football (sorry all you football fans, but it’s true!). The facility cost $1.5 billion dollars to build and houses a $42 million, high definition screen to better watch the games by! How would you like that in your family room?
Check out our website for more pictures of the week’s events and travel with me to Vegas in two weeks for the international tour operator’s show – Go West Summit.
