Mountain Travel Symposium March 31-April 6 2019
As you may know, this year Tourism Whistler is proud to host the 44th annual Mountain Travel Symposium. Whistler last hosted MTS in 2015 and we are looking forward to another successful conference in 2019 to showcase our beautiful destination.
Mountain Travel Symposium is one of the most important industry events of the year. The conference provides a platform for industry professionals to network with peers from over 35 countries, discuss the latest trends and issues within our industry, and create lifelong business partnerships. MTS is comprised of four different components:
Trade Exchange: This three-day session is where over 600 buyers and sellers within the mountain travel industry meet through one-on-one appointments. The Trade Exchange is the industry’s largest planning and contracting event.
Group Exchange: The Group Exchange brings together over 120 buyers from top ski clubs across North America to meet with over 220 suppliers within the industry. All buyers are pre-qualified and carefully screened to ensure they meet the requirement of being a decision-maker.
The Forum: The two-day Forum is comprised of cutting-edge information and industry insights. Through breakouts, keynotes, general sessions, and on-hill workshops, you’ll learn everything you need to be successful in the upcoming year. The Forum also includes Destinations@MTS, an executive-level event created for resorts and DMO marketers. New for 2019: VacationRentals@MTS is a program designed for vacation rental property management companies, presented in partnership with VRMA.
Young Leaders Summit: The second-annual Young Leaders Summit is open to young professionals under 35 who are dedicated to growing their career and industry knowledge-base. The program focuses on professional development, networking with peers and established leadership, and thought-provoking discussion on the future of our industry.
