NTA WORKING FOR YOU
Invest in your future
There’s a reason Contact garners high marks from both attending buyers
and sponsors. Its practical, hands-on education; relaxed atmosphere; and
first-class host cities create an environment ripe for collaboration. Join us
in Charleston, South Carolina, April 18–21, 2018, where you’ll expand your
network and discover a sense of what’s possible.
What they’re saying about Contact
“Contact is a great venue for
networking with your fellow NTA
operators at a much slower pace. You
get to mingle with your friends in the
business and understand how things are
from different perspectives. NTA also
selects great destinations for this event,
which helps tremendously.”
—Nish Patel, Mayflower Tours
“Contact is like pulling up to a juice
bar and getting a protein shake, with
double-scoops of extra protein! It fills
my personal, professional and creative
tanks to the max. On top of that, spring
is the perfect time to connect with
peers, and the event is just plain fun.” “I can meet with owners who have both
similar and uniquely different business
models. The exchange of information
regarding challenges, opportunities
and solutions often gives me new
perspectives on current and future
challenges our company will be facing.”
—Clayton Whitehead, CTP,
Sports Leisure Vacations —Jim Warren, CTP,
Anderson Vacations
What’s New
All-member Reception & Icebreaker

productive week in Charleston.
Opening Networking Session
This annual favorite has been revamped
into an interactive networking session
for all attendees—buyers and sponsors.
Two Dine-around nights
Charleston is known for its seafood

seeing tours later that morning.

This is your chance to see Charleston
based on specialty market interest: agri-
tourism, historical/heritage or faith travel.
