iconTTIA's Mission to Monterrey has been Upgraded!

NEW DATES: May 27-29, 2010


All tourism and retail destination members can now experience 4 times the traffic of the original Mission to Monterrey. TTIA will be a part of the CINTERMEX TRAVEL AND AIRLINE SHOW (ARLAM) Trade Show May 28th and 29th in Monterrey Mexico. You can join us in person to promote your destination, or participate by sending brochures and other sales materials.

This trade and travel show has been held in Monterrey and Northern Mexico for the past 9 years. Attendees typically include about 600 travel agents and the top travel agencies and wholesalers, who are there to attend day seminars on Travel and Tourism. These sessions keep them informed on new developments and rules and regulations on travel.

They will open the travel and trade show to the General Public and consumers on Saturday and expect about 5,000 attendees on Saturday due to the interest in learning about resorts and destinations, plus the media and radio and TV talk shows the week of this show.
