The
2012 Show will introduce a new Mobile Show Guide that all attendees can
access via their cellphones. This marketing tool will give you extra
opportunities to put your sales messages right in consumers' hands during
the show and throughout the year."The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel
Show could not have come at a better time this year - with all
of the snow and artic temperatures in the Philadelphia region.
Soon to be vacationers were lined up and ready to book their
Apple Vacation to the sun! We had 2 bookings within the first 30
minutes of the show, and we ran out of brochures the first day
and needed to restock. Thanks Philadelphia Inquirer, we look
forward to participating in the event again next year!

“The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel
Show was a great opportunity to get the Orlando brand in front
of a qualified audience. Being a sponsor, we were allowed to
have our branding throughout the show including a double booth
and stage presence which was what we needed to communicate about
our destination. The Philadelphia Inquirer and J2L Events were
great partners in helping make the show a success.”

“We were thrilled to be a part of
such a notable show and will certainly be returning to exhibit

“The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel
Show is the first major travel show we have done in the U.S.,
and we are glad we made this decision. The show was busy and had
the right audience that was a perfect fit for our tours. We met
and spoke with many visitors who were so happy to find us and
learn about our tours. Some came all the way to Philadelphia
just to hear our presentation, as China is a country that most
people have on their bucket list, but have no idea how to get
there. The show organizer has done a very good job, giving
people an opportunity to learn about many destinations. We also
have learned more about how U.S. travelers want their China
trip; this is very important, as we are the largest China
operator in the UK and Australia, but every market is different.
So this show has been fantastic, both for our potential
customers and for us as a specialist China operator.”

“The Philadelphia Inquirer Travel
Show was well organized and executed. The choice of the
Convention Center downtown is clearly the right one. Show
attendees from the Tri-State area were hungry for information on
the Caribbean, with many indicating they had already booked to
travel during the winter. We in the Caribbean Section have
started planning for an increased presence next year and adding
some cultural entertainment to the show.”

marketing officer, Caribbean Tourism
Organization

“Thank you for all of the hard
work. The event was very well organized and the J2L Events team
made it easy to do business! I look forward to an even better
event next year and expect that attendance will grow with the
success of each show.”
