“I’ve been to many tradeshows in a variety of formats and Retreats Resources is by far the best regional show I attend each year. Their unique format allows me to truly engage with the hoteliers I need to meet with. The experience is unparalleled and I know I’ll learn about new and exciting destinations every time I attend.”
