MONTAGE has a 5-to-1 buyer-seller ratio. It boasts attendees from 11 countries.  That says it all. What seller wouldn't love to be at a conference where the buyers out-number the sellers by a ratio of 5 to1? That alone is a remarkable opportunity! 

When you couple it with the fact that they are coming from all over the world, giving sellers new exposure, it is an opportunity not to pass up. Take those two facts and then take a look at the program. You will see that the activities lend themselves to intimate opportunities to explore new business potential while strengthening existing ones. I know that at this time many of you would say that you can't afford to do this.  I suggest that with this ratio and number of new buyers, it may be an opportunity you can't afford to miss!

NTA has specifically referred to MONTAGE as "no boundaries to selling. No restrictions in attendance. Just an open marketplace of international travel commerce in a city that captivates."

Realizing that there are budget restraints for most of us, NTA has offered two different levels of attendance. You can choose to attend MONTAGE and take advantage of the events, networking opportunities and classes. Or, you can also purchase a stand for the workshop and strengthen your presence.  What you choose to do is up to you and your budget.

In addition, NTA has secured airfare discounts and have announced lower hotel room rates.

The final business component I would mention this week is the continuing education component-- and this is an excellent program. Knowing what education seminars cost these days, this part alone would cost more than the entire registration.

This week I wanted to touch on the business opportunity that you do not want to miss. Don't get me started about the personal enrichment MONTAGE offers...I'll save that for next week!

Hasta luego!
