Airlines, hotels, ground transportation, tour guides, travel agents, CVB’s — they’re all integral to the success of tour operators and the many excursions and experiences they provide to travelers. Tour operators have worked hard to rebound from the pandemic by expanding their offerings to meet the needs and preferences of travelers. As the leading voice for the tour operator industry, the United States Tour Operators Association and its members have worked for 50 years to engage all travelers.
USTOA’s CEO is Terry Dale and he’s certainly become a trusted Show Friend who we enjoy as he speaks candidly with first-hand knowledge.
As part of our last live broadcast of 2023, before taking a holiday break for Christmas and New Years, we invited Terry back for the latest “Chief Travel Leader” conversation, as USTOA just put out their 2024 Travel Forecast. From discussing some of the findings reported in the Travel Forecast, including how high Alaska ranked for domestic destinations travelers are eager to visit, to discussing the Cruise sector of travel and its continued growth, to luxury tour operators and experiences — we always appreciate Terry’s say it like it is style and enjoyed this latest check-in.
