Testimonials
See why the community of travel and tourism leaders continue to find value in attending eTourism Summit.
As a small business owner in the massive travel marketing economy, I made an investment in and accepted an invitation to participate in eTourism Summit’s ‘Bright, Shiny New Objects’ session with fellow entrepreneurs in travel because I recognized the reach and caliber of industry professionals attending these events. The event provided a platform where innovation is central to continuing to grow the travel and tourism economy, and was a perfect match for The Culturist Group to network and generate interest in our multicultural travel marketing services.
eTourism Summit introduces our staff to cutting edge tech solutions and allows us to develop valuable relationships with the people behind those solutions. Arrivalist, CRANT, and CrowdRiff are three vendors we discovered at eTourism Summit that have since become important partners in our research and marketing programs.
