Travel Fair 2010TTIA staff members traveled to the beautiful city of Corpus Christi last week for our annual Texas Travel Fair, as well as a Cultural and Heritage Tourism Seminar, and a TTIA board meeting. Not only was the weather perfect, we also had very successful events, and it was a pleasure as always to see our members in person. Thank you to our host city, our event sponsors, and to all who participated as attendees or exhibitors!
