A Jam-Packed Weekend at the Travel and Adventure Show in New York

This is a blog update by Trove Associate Olivia Silverman-Franklin on our team’s experience at the TAS Show in New York’s Javits Center.

Founder and CEO Danny Cohanpour and Olivia, Trove Associate, took a trip to the Javits Convention Center in New York City last weekend for the Travel and Adventure show. The show was teeming with eager travelers excited to see destinations, from the new and familiar, showcased what they have to offer as we transition into a post-pandemic time. 

While the show had been reduced in size compared to previous years, it did not hold back on the representation of destinations. We talked to booths from nations in East and Southeast Asia like the Philippines and Taiwan and to North American destinations like Newfoundland and the Gulf County of Florida.

The show's mood was very energizing and optimistic; everyone seemed happy to socialize in person compared to a virtual setting. The show also was bolstered with live performances. We particularly loved Destination Miami's LGBTQ+ concert featuring fabulous drag queens. 

We were also able to attend a few speaker events. Brian Kelly, the founder of The Points Guy website, piqued our interest in how our spending could turn into free travel and that many people in that audience have more than 20 credit cards—mind-blowing! Alvin Adriano of Travelwise spoke highly during a presentation of the Philippines, the diverse landscape, dreamy beaches, and amiable people, making for an enjoyable choice when returning to international travel. There are some incredible people throughout the travel industry. 

The Travel and Adventure show is making its way throughout the United States these next few weeks, hoping to capture the hopeful eyes of travelers. See if they are stopping by your city sometime soon and join in on the excitement. 

Trove will be here as we provide digital marketing services to help your destination stand out in this hyper-competitive 2022-2023 travel market.
