Starting with its 2012 edition, La Cumbre, organised by Reed Travel Exhibitions, will offer its participants the possibility of pre-scheduling and holding up to a maximum of 36 business meetings between exhibitors from the Americas and buyers and GSAs from all over the world.

That is why the duration of the event has been extended to 3 complete days, from 5 to 7 September.  The first day, another edition of the Tourism Branding Forum will be presented and over the next 2 days destination presentations, as well as any pre-scheduled meetings, will take place. Therefore, the event will now conclude on Friday, 7 September, with the last meeting at 5:30 pm.

This increase in the number of possible meetings is intended to maximise the generation of business during the event between exhibitors, buyers and GSAs, the delegations of which continue seeing a sustained increase, edition after edition. Currently, more than 80% of the exhibition floor has been sold, while the Hosted Buyer Programme, to date, has attracted 15% more registered buyer versus the same period in 2011.

Through this programme, those pre-qualified buyers who register prior to 15 June 2012, and meet all of the programme requirements, will receive a complete refund of their registration fee after the event has concluded. The objective of this programme, entirely funded by Reed Travel Exhibitions, is to provide incentives and support for the carrying out of meetings and possible business deals between buyers and exhibitors. It should be remembered that registration for Hosted Buyers closes on 15 June 2012.

The event will take place this coming 5-7 September in Orlando, Florida, at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek | Waldorf Astoria Orlando resort properties.

Registration is currently open for qualified GSAs and Buyers, as well as for Exhibitors. Companies interested in registering or inquiring about their possibility of attending La Cumbre 2012 should contact us via e-mail at Exhibitors@LaCumbre.com or Buyers@LaCumbre.com.  For additional information, please visit www.LaCumbre.com.

The available exhibition booths are being booked at a fast pace, which fact may be attributed basically to 2 reasons: 1. the array of buyers from the increasing number of segments that join the roster each year—at the last edition, there were buyers in attendance from the following segments: Leisure Travel, Luxury Travel, Group Travel, Corporate Travel, MICE Travel, Adventure Travel, Sports Travel, Golf Travel, Ecotourism and Medical Tourism; and 2. the quality of the buyers, who have to go through a strict pre-qualification process.

This, in turn, resulted in an increase in the number of appointments that the attending delegates may pre-schedule and conduct: starting with the 2012 edition, it will be possible to schedule up to 36 business meetings over two complete days, with the event culminating on Friday 7 September at 5:30 pm.

Another driving force behind exhibitors and buyers registering at an impressive rate is the presentation, for the second consecutive year, of the Tourism Branding Forum @ La Cumbre conference programme which, following the positive response to its 2011 edition, will once again offer training and a discussion forum for industry leaders during the first day of the event.

Regarding the expectations for this 2012 edition, Gastón Isoldi, Director of La Cumbre and Director of New Business Development for the Americas at Reed Travel Exhibitions, stated: “La Cumbre has completed the transition that we started years ago. Today, the market has a clear idea of what La Cumbre is, the business opportunities it provides, and the great return on investment it offers.”

La Cumbre will continue offering the Hosted Buyer Programme, whereby pre-qualified Buyers who register prior to 15 June 2012, and meet all of the programme requirements, will receive a complete refund of their registration fee after the event has concluded. The objective of this Programme, entirely funded by Reed Travel Exhibitions, is to provide incentives and support for the carrying out of meetings and potential business deals between buyers and exhibitors.

Registration is now open for GSAs and buyers; limited spaces for hosted buyers are already being filled.

New starting this year, the event will offer the possibility of pre-scheduling up to 36 business meetings, which translates into 20% more meetings.

The first day of the event, for the second consecutive year, the Tourism Branding Forum @ La Cumbre will be presented, offering a conference programme and panels featuring industry-leading companies and organisations.
