Visit USA’s informative webinars continue in October and November.
The 30-minute webinars, which run on Tuesdays at 14.00, update viewers on destination and product news from Association members.
The online sessions feature a new member each week – a state, region, attraction, transport operator, accommodation provider or a tour operator.
“Our Visit USA UK Webinars continue to be a favourite amongst the trade with many agents tuning in week after week,” commented Kate Kenward, Visit USA CEO.
“We welcome travel agents and tour operators as well as anyone who just wants to find out about an area of the USA – you don’t have to be a member of Visit USA UK to register.
“It’s a great way to increase knowledge and awareness about the USA,” she added.
Forthcoming episodes include St. Pete-Clearwater, Florida, on October 21. Known for its award-winning beaches and world-renowned art scene, this webinar will ensure agents are fully up to speed to effectively sell the destination by learning key selling points and tips on top hotels and attractions.
Next up on October 28 is Oklahoma City (above), with attractions that include Route 66 road trips, motorcycle adventures, cowboy heritage, urban waterways and great nightlife. The webinar will inspire ideas for fly-drive, coach, and group travel itineraries in the state.
On November 11, the five distinct but complimentary boroughs of New York City will be in the spotlight, as the Big Apple showcases new openings, hotels, attractions and major events as well as unveiling some new tools for the trade.
Agents can learn all about Missouri on November 18, as they discover the Show-Me State’s major cities like St. Louis (with its iconic Arch) and Kansas City (a FIFA World Cup 26 host city) and charming small towns. Agents will also learn about Missouri’s rich blend of history, nature, world-class museums, rich cultural attractions, iconic barbecue and scenic outdoors.
Agents will be able to “explore” the length of the Florida Keys and its five regions of islands and coral reefs on November 25 as the destination covers the basics on how to get there, accommodation ideas and the attractions and activities travellers can do in the most southern part of the USA.
And on December 9 they will be taken behind the scenes of Jet Blue’s transatlantic product and hear about the airline’s plans for 2026.
One agent who has joined several of Visit USA’s previous webinars commented: “As always, I picked up plenty of good up-to-date information. What I like is that the presenters are so obviously passionate about the areas they represent and give some great tips.”
Added Visit USA’s Kate Kenward: “We have over 30 webinars in our library now, which anyone can access at any time on our website page. With over 195 members we won’t be going short of webinar content going forward and over the next few months we have some great presentations lined up.”
