NEW YORK -- Questex Travel Group today announced that its next Incentive Travel Exchange (ITE) event will be held March 2-5, 2016, at The Delano Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay.
ITE brings together high-volume incentive buyers based in North America and sought-after global travel suppliers including hotels, resorts, spas, cruise lines, tour operators and destination management companies.
The sold-out 2015 ITE program, held in partnership with SITE, the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence, marked the event's 10th anniversary and achieved record attendance, according to Marilyn McHugh, Questex Travel Group vice president of global events.
"This year's event provided participating suppliers and buyers more than 2,500 one-on-one appointments," she said. "We look forward to an even bigger splash in 2016."
Buyers and suppliers praised the event's interactive format and focused one-to-one meetings held in private suites. "Of all the various types of shows, this is the one not to be missed," said Moon Civetz, Maverick Aviation Group vice present, global group sales & special events.
Kevin Edmunds, Hard Rock All-Inclusive Collection vice president, meetings & incentive sales, said ITE is "the perfect place for buyers and suppliers to meet, network and talk business. The quality of buyers stands out compared to any other. It's a must-attend event."
"I walked away with four RFPs and more to come in the next couple of weeks," said Lee Hunter, Commune Hotels & Resorts global director of sales. Robin Valenta, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority sales executive, said she looks forward to the annual gathering: "If you haven't participated in this event, you should definitely consider it."
Suppliers attending the 2015 ITE event included the most sought-after incentive destinations across the globe including hotels and resorts, spas, destinations, cruise lines, tour operators and destination management companies.
