Registration is currently underway for the International Showcase held in Nashville,December 3-6, 2013. This will be the second international show presented by Travel South. Last year the response from both overseas tour companies and Alabama suppliers was great.

Nashville will be an exciting city for the International tour operators, so I think the level and number of companies attending will be even better. In anticipation, this year the showcase will have two full days of appointments instead of just a day and a half. This will allow you to have even more appointments. More than 75 international tour operators from over a dozen countries around the globe are expected to attend.

Thanks to the large number of Alabama suppliers that signed up last year, Alabama projected a solid image of an area of the south where tourist should and do come to spend their money and have a good time.

Thank you to those that came last year. You know how great the show was. If you didn’t sign up last year, join us this year.

Sign up now.  The early bird special pricing that starts as low as $995 for a single seat at a three-seat appointment table ends August 31. For the best appointment results, come with two others from your area and have a unified tourism message. Starting September 1, the price of appointment taking admission will be highter.
