TravelExpo in Terrasini April 13-15, 2007: a Good Indicator of the Health of the Sicilian Travel Industry
The weekend of April 13-15, about 1300 tour operators, travel agents, wholesalers, and hoteliers will be gathering at the Hotel & Resort Città for the 9th edition of TravelExpo in Terrasini, a resort town west of Palermo close to the Airport Falcone-Borsellino. Through the years, this tradeshow has grown to become an excellent indicator on how the travel industry is performing in the island.
TravelExpo’s opening will be celebrated with a competition featuring journalists cooking penne all’agrodolce. The meeting and incentive segment is going to receive particular attention at TravelExpo since this sector has seen a steady increase of presences in Sicily in the past years. Participants will receive the Sicily Travel Directory, an indispensable guide of travel related businesses in and to Sicily. The two-day tradeshow showcases an intense program of workshops and conferences.
According to the arrivals, tourism to Sicily is thriving as never before. Are we finally getting it right? I hope so. For sure, there is still plenty to do, but this could be an excellent start. So, the show is not to be missed if you are a tour operator promoting Sicily! For more information about TravelExpo, please visit www.TravelExpo.it (Italian only).
