Yesterday, U.S. Travel Association’s IPW came to a close. At the leading inbound travel trade show, delegates had the opportunity to connect in-person—conducting business, renewing relationships, and securing new partnerships around the world. The past few days were spent securing America’s position as a foremost global travel destination and showcasing the best of what the U.S. has to offer.
As the event concluded, here are some additional highlights from U.S. Travel’s IPW.
Ziggy Marley Luncheon Performance
We welcomed reggae icon Ziggy Marley to the stage at yesterday’s luncheon presented by Experience Kissimmee. His energetic and uplifting performance of classic songs featuring harmonious themes of love, peace, and unity had attendees swaying in their seats.
