Criteria to Attend

Qualified buyers of USA travel products and services are eligible to register for U.S. Travel Association's International Pow Wow by invitation only.

The International Advisory Committee (IAC) Chairs for each of our 70+ participating countries send U.S. Travel's invitations to International Leisure Buyers and International Meeting and Incentive Buyers. All registrations must be approved by the IAC Chairs and the U.S. Travel Association.

Companies interested in attending International Pow Wow as an international buyer should meet the following criteria:

• Have the ability to transmit travel (view and secure inventory);
• Be registered to sell travel (BSP, ARC, IATA) or be a member of an accredited travel association;
• Have open-user groups and feature product on a year-round basis; and
• Have the ability to package travel and offer commissionable rates.

Appointments

Your registration will not be considered valid if you do not submit a minimum of 30 Appointment Requests on or before March 16, 2012. As a condition of acceptance of your registration, you must agree to keep your pre-scheduled appointments.

The U.S. Travel Association and the U.S. travel industry make a large investment to host you at International Pow Wow and in return we ask that you make every effort to honor your pre-scheduled and onsite commitments. Future attendance at International Pow Wow will be denied to those International Buyers who consistently cancel, "no show" or do not attend their appointments.

Due to the availability of numerous appointment scheduling opportunities such as powwowonline.com, the Monday morning Appointment Scheduling Session and the onsite Message Centers, refunds are not issued to buyers who do not receive pre-scheduled appointments.

There is no spouse or family program, and no partial registration will be given for attendance at International Pow Wow social events.
