U.S. TRAVEL ASSOICATION IPW 

IPW is the leading inbound travel trade show in the country. Past IPWs have generated more than $5.5 billion in future travel by connecting U.S. travel exhibitors with travel buyers and media to promote their product and negotiate future business, securing America’s position as a foremost global travel destination and showcasing the best of what the U.S. has to offer. 

IPW LAS VEGAS SEPTEMBER 19 – 23, 2021 

In this time of COVID, U.S. Travel Association was charged with coordinating a conference that met all the health and safety standards of the city and state of Nevada. Despite a somewhat abbreviated version, the excitement and enthusiasm of attendees was not affected. We were all happy to be meeting with friends, colleagues, and new clients from all over the world in a business environment. Visit San Antonio staff coordinated over 200 business appointments with travel trade and media, hosted 40 clients for dinner at China Poblano featuring a menu curated by San Antonio Chef Jason Dady. The storytelling included local artists Michael Quintanilla, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson and Azul Barrientos. To say that clients were captivated does not do justice to what clients expressed about the evening and San Antonio.    

A special thanks to our partners Spurs Sports & Entertainment, The Alamo, Go Rio River Cruises and Thompson San Antonio Riverwalk for joining us. We know that the pandemic prevented other partners from attending this year, and we look forward to your participation in 2022.
