The Marianas Visitors Authority makes an appearance this week at Japan\u2019s largest travel show, the 2011 JATA (Japan Association of Travel Agents) Tourism Forum and Travel Showcase.<\/p>\n
The event, expected to attract over a hundred thousand travel trade reps, media reps, and potential travelers will be held until Sunday, Oct. 2, at the Tokyo Big Sight East Hall. JATA is a national organization of travel agents and suppliers promoting the travel and tourism industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe JATA Travel Showcase is the Northern Marianas\u2019 biggest and best opportunity to meet with Japanese travel reps who can help sell our destination, media reps who can help publicize our islands, and potential travelers deciding on their next destination,\u201d said MVA marketing manager Bruce Bateman.<\/p>\n
The MVA will also conduct its Marianas Workshop today to update travel agents directly and in detail about the Northern Marianas destination. The Marianas Workshop is expected to attract over 110 travel agents plus media and will be held at the Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel.<\/p>\n
The MVA is also gearing up for two trade shows and a travel fair on Guam in October targeting military personnel and their families. The Navy Travel Show will be held on Oct. 13, followed by the 7th Annual Anderson Travel Fair on Oct. 14. A Micronesian Travel Fair starts Oct. 15 and runs through Oct. 17 in Tamuning, Guam.
