| Hello Kate: As you saw in this week’s issue of Tuesday, NTA has teamed with a leading research firm—Travel Market Insights—to offer two new affordable and timely research programs. One of the reasons your board was so excited to work with TMI is because we know how valuable research is, particularly this year when we’re all working toward recovery from the economic downturn of 2009. NTA has another great research tool in The Trend, our subscription-based research e-newsletter. This monthly newsletter is a great way to keep on top of what’s going on with consumers, the industry and general travel trends. In discussing these new research ventures, your Board of Directors determined that, in this year of recovery, the research found in The Trend is something we wanted to make sure every member could access. So, we’re giving The Trend, free of charge, to every member for the remainder of 2010! Below is the April issue. You’ll be able to access archived issues from 2010 when you click on an article, so you haven’t missed a thing. We’ll go back to charging for The Trend in 2011 but, for now, we wanted to make sure you had every tool at your disposal to make 2010 a banner year. I also believe you’ll find that after receiving The Trend each month, it will be well-worth the $10 per month investment to subscribe in 2011. Thank you, Catherine M. Greteman NTA Chairman and CEO The Trend - April Following is the April issue of The Trend, NTA's monthly research newsletter. We hope you enjoy the information and find it of the utmost value and usefulness.
