Visit USA to host webinar series for UK travel trade

The Visit USA Association (UK) is inviting agents and operators to take part in a free webinar series being held every Tuesday.

The half-hour calls, beginning on September 17, will be hosted by a cross-section of the association’s UK membership, including representatives from destinations and city attractions.

Kate Kenward, chief executive of Visit USA Association (UK), said: “The webinars are not just for Visit USA members but for the UK industry at large. Reservations staff will obviously benefit, but sales, marketing, PRs and media will also find them extremely useful.

“Everyone is welcome, whether they are new to selling the USA or just in need of a quick ‘knowledge top-up’.”

The webinar will take place at 2pm every week, kicking off with a call hosted by travel app Vamoos.

The September 24 webinar will be hosted by New York attraction Summit One Vanderbilt, with the following instalments led by Alabama, Capital Region USA, Travel Oregon, Florida’s Space Coast, Los Angeles, Orlando and the Rockefeller Center. More webinars will be scheduled in the new year.

“We hope the travel trade will set aside just 30 minutes each Tuesday and tune into our talks,” added Kenward.
