Travel Weekly has teamed up with Brand USA on a series of articles that will run throughout the autumn and showcase some of America’s key destinations in the run-up to the peak sales period.
The first three fortnightly articles will run in partnership with USAirtours, while the second three features in November and December will run in partnership with Gold Medal.
Each article will include new products, openings and events in 2018, as well as sample packages to help you book.
And you have a chance to win some great prizes by answering questions about the destinations featured.
Chris Ellis, director of global trade development for Brand USA, said: “We are really pleased to be working with Travel Weekly and our operator partners to showcase key destinations for 2018. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for tour operators to put together itineraries and help travel agents persuade their customers to come or come back to the US.”
Guy Novik, chief executive of USAirtours, said: “We have seen great growth in the past year, particularly in multi-centre bookings, thanks to our unbeatable product, partnerships and sales team. In the last year, we have offered more agent fam trips to the USA than ever before, and we are delighted to continue that commitment to improving destination knowledge within the trade by working with Brand USA on its fantastic education programmes.”
Ross Sinclair, senior product manager Americas and the Caribbean at Gold Medal, said: “Gold Medal are delighted to be working with Brand USA to showcase the different holiday options available across this fantastic country from cityscapes to beach retreats.
