New York Times Travel Show Part 2

TerraDiversa was honored to attend the NY Times Travel Show this month. Partners Edd (Director of Marketing) and Cynthia (Director of Sales) Staton represented our company and country at the event.



Ecuador was a major sponsor of the show



and had a massive and prominently featured display area.









The first day was for "trade only." We attended extremely informative morning workshops focused on market specialization and social networks. After a keynote address the show floor was opened for all travel professionals to mingle before opening the following morning to the general public. A lovely cocktail reception was a pleasant way to end the day.

Saturday and Sunday the joint was jumpin'.



Attendance exceeded all expectations as a festive vibe enveloped the huge convention hall. Lavish displays from around the globe dazzled the eye,



while non-stop dance performances, music, and international cooking demonstrations occupied 10 different pavilion stages.





Outside the main hall in two seminar rooms travel presentations were presented to packed crowds. Experts covered topics from cruising to luxury train travel to African safaris. Celebrities like the Frommer's, Samantha Brown, and Adam Richman gave entertaining talks and signed autographs.

Looks like folks are ready to get out and have some fun again! Travel is fun, and TerraDiversa is your Ecuador travel specialist.
