“JacTravel has been an active member of ETOA since 2000. Our contracting teams meet a great range of new suppliers at ETOA workshops throughout the year. We can always rely on ETOA to keep us informed when new legislation or regulations could impact on our business and, crucially, its good to see the association lobbying so hard on these issues.”
“Hotel Invest Italiana joined ETOA in 2003, mainly to support our Sales & Marketing activity, but over the years we highly benefitted from this fast expanding, world-wide network of well-established companies. Every year we attend the workshops, which allow us to put together meetings that would otherwise take me weeks to get through. This is a must for busy and often time-poor Sales & Marketing professional - maximum connections with minimum time.”
“We see the benefit of the membership not only to support our sales & marketing activity, but also to get a high-profile exposure to the B2B international market. The ETOA Membership is the key to a fast expanding network of well-established companies that we need to be part of.”
“ETOA has allowed us to present the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza to the travel industry giving us access to a whole range of buyers specialized in educational and cultural tours.
