Visit USA’s popular webinar series for agents continues this month, featuring regions from Florida to the Great American West.
Made up of 30-minute sessions – a 20-minute presentation and 10 minutes of Q&As – the webinars take place on Tuesdays at 14.00.
On May 20, Visit Houston will highlight the Texas city’s culturally diverse offerings, from world-class attractions like Space Center Houston to its vibrant culinary scene with 10,000-plus restaurants and premier shopping.
Agents will learn how to include Houston in U.S. itineraries and attractions such as top museums, city parks, entertainment options, and major events such as the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
On May 27, The Great American West will introduce agents to the rich history and breathtaking landscapes of its four constituent states: Wyoming, Idaho, North and South Dakota (pictured). This is a region blessed with stunning natural beauty, iconic National Parks, and legendary tales of cowboys, rodeos, ranch life, native American heritage, wildlife and the great outdoors.
On June 3, Baton Rouge will showcase the reasons it belongs on every touring itinerary of the South. Louisiana’s capital offers authentic Southern experiences, global cuisine, soulful Swamp Blues, and scenic, walkable downtown on the Mississippi River.
From being one of the US’s leading winter sports resorts to offering summer activities based around its iconic lake, Lake Tahoe has year-round appeal and on June 10 the destination will outline the many reasons clients should head to a destination that straddles the border between California and Nevada.
And on June 17, Visit Pensacola, Florida, will show off its 40 miles of sugar-white sand beaches, diverse cultural districts, award-winning restaurant and rich history.
Agents will discover how Pensacola offers a compelling addition to Florida itineraries. Additionally, its proximity to New Orleans – a three-hour drive – makes it an ideal tie-in for Deep South experiences.
“Those agents and operators who have joined us for our webinars have been enthusiastic and appreciative about discovering something new or to topping up their USA ‘knowledge bank’,” said Kate Kenward, CEO for Visit USA.
“It takes just 30 minutes of their time to learn about a destination or product that can be of real benefit when recommending itineraries to their clients.”
