"Once again TMS exceeded my expectations. I made many promising contacts as well as several new friends. I find TMS to be a wonderful networking opportunity and look forward to it each year."
Elizabeth Blair, Journalist

"You guys did a fantastic job - keep it up! Every time that I attend is better than the one before."
Tosha Daugherty, Exhibitor
Bloomington Indiana CVB, IN

" You've got it pretty well thought out. It was a very successful show and we find ourselves bonding with a lot of the exhibitors whom we really like as persons. There are many really nice people in TMS and we wish we could visit and write about more destinations than is possible."
Eric Anderson, Journalist
San Diego, CA

"Travel Media Showcase allows the exhibitor to have a one-on-one conversation with a travel writer, in turn allowing an exhibitor to really connect and answer questions. I really enjoy the format."
Stephanie Fermin, Exhibitor
San Mateo County CVB, CA

"Great event! Things are well organized. You always know what you are doing at a TMS. From being met at the airport through being turned over to the post tour exhibitor, things flow smoothly."
