Marketplace: A Group Leader Showcase of Destinations
PBA continues to direct considerable time, effort, and resources to the promotion of travel and tourism both on an intrastate and interstate basis. Each spring, the Association conducts a travel marketplace which represents a broad range of destinations, hotels, attractions and travel promotion agencies featured in an exposition setting. This scenario affords an opportunity for motorcoach operators’ tour and charter personnel to establish contact with destination representatives, and to bring group leaders in contact with representatives of the travel-hospitality industry. It is the most expansive state travel motorcoach marketplace of its kind in the country today. More importantly, it has become a proven business stimulant for both PBA motorcoach operators and our Supplier Members who participate in the event.
*Marketplace Directory Advertising and Sponsorship Opportunitites: The Marketplace Directory, which is circulated to the group leaders and motorcoach operators attending Marketplace, accepts advertising. Sponsorships are also available to PBA Members for this event.
