This month we did "The Art Of The Package" which was a fun time.  This involved breaking into teams and bundling packages together to include hotel stays with activities.  

Not only was this a fun exercise but it also let us learn more about each other and what types of offerings our peers bring to the table.  We also heard from members about the ways in which they've successfully used packaging in international and domestic travel packages.  Getting to hear these experiences from seasoned travel professionals is a wonderful way to learn more about travel marketing and sales.

The Venue, the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel Las Vegas Airport ,  provided a great spread and nice meeting space for our group.  Thank You Brooke Welton!

We had a great meeting at the Mardi Gras Hotel on Paradise which has a 3,900 sqft Ballroom that can be broken down into 3 separate spaces.  The catering staff provided a sampling of divine treat to enjoy. Really great people!  

Thanks for having us!  make sure you sign up for next month

Rene gave a wonderful presentation on Viking Cruises. It was wonderful to be in the room with seasoned travel professionals as they asked very insightful questions and added details to the discussion about places where Viking goes around the world.

Here's some of those very knowledgeable travel professionals:
