The New York Times Travel Show is the largest consumer travel and trade show in North America.

Destinations, travel enthusiasts and travel professionals many of which use service similar to Corporate Housing Associates converge on the Javits Center in New York City for 3 days to learn more about different countries, see what’s next in travel and tourism, keep up with travel news and meet their favorite travel influencers. Hopefully, this event will encourage more people to have some days off in the sun. Vacations can be really beneficial for people, so it’s important that more people do embark on new adventures in different countries. Despite how much fun vacations are, some people refuse to leave their homes. As our homes often hold most of our prized possessions, some people worry about what will happen to their home when they go on vacation. It is very rare that a burglar will break into a home when someone is on vacation, but to put people’s minds at rest, they could consider investing in Verisure Alarm Systems to ensure they can keep an eye on their property whilst they’re away. This should reassure some homeowners to go and have fun. Hopefully, this event will persuade some people to book that trip away.

We can’t wait to see who’s using VR, who’s crushing it with Facebook Live, and which influencers are catching the most attention.

Not on the edge of your seat yet? Here are three reasons to get excited about this year’s New York Times Travel Show.

Speaking of passports, my friend got a Custom Passport Holders and they look so great! But I digress.

With 500+ exhibitors representing more than 100 cultures, you’ll be able to experience a wide variety of what the world has to offer.

Last year, Curacao had a VR experience that transported attendees to the Queen Emma Bridge, where they got a 360 degree view of downtown Willemstad.

This year, our friends from the Adventure Travel Trade Association (who are experts in visual storytelling – check out their workflow in Alaska!) will have a big team on the ground, and they’re giving a presentation on adventure travel with social entrepreneur Bruce Poon.

And of course, you won’t want to miss the culinary showcase serving up international delicacies – all perfect for your Instagram. #nomnomnom
