The Family Travel Advisor Forum is an exclusive event catering to the sellers of the family travel niche with an emphasis on multi-generation, family reunions and other family group getaways. This renowned program is designed to deliver a high-caliber event experience, complete with networking and top-level content in an intimate, collaborative atmosphere conducive to building strong business relationships.

The Family Travel Advisor Forum Location and Dates have yet to be determined.  Please check back regularly for updates.

The Family Travel Advisor Forum is produced by Travel Show Marketing Group (TravelSMG), an independent event organizer who caters exclusively to the North American travel seller market. For more details on our company, visit www.TravelSMG.com.

The Family Travel Advisor Forum will bring in a fully-vetted audience of travel advisor professionals from across North America who are focused on the family travel niche.  Travel advisors will represent a cross-section of consortia and non-consortia affiliates, owner/managers and front-line travel advisors as well as traditional and independent travel sellers.

Space is limited to 130 travel advisor professionals.  Because space is limited, travel advisors interested in participating will be required to take part in a stringent application process, providing details on their business for consideration of participation.

Travel advisors interested in participating must first complete a formal application for review and consideration of participation.  Our travel advisor acquisitions team will review applications on an individual basis and will notify the applicant for additional details and/or next steps to determine eligibility.  Applications must be complete, with required details to help determine eligibility.  Applicants are not guaranteed participation, however, will be notified in a timely manner.

The online application will be available in late summer.

Applicants may only register once they’ve been notified of their eligibility by our travel advisor acquisitions team.  Details will be provided at that time.

We offer tiered registration levels with different inclusions, however, each of these tiers will offer participating travel advisors access to the educational conference program; product/ destination training courses; exclusive networking opportunities; organized site inspections; the interactive Supplier Showcase with a diary of one-to-one meetings and open engagement times; and a position on a FAM (based on availability).

A complete schedule, including site inspections, FAM’s and other activities will be announced shortly. Information will be updated on the website as it becomes available.

The Event Management team will be assisting all registered travel advisor delegates with reservations at the event destination. Details will be provided once registered. If you elect to stay off-property, you will be responsible for your own accommodations and additional fees will apply to gain access to lunch functions taking place at our host property.

The Forum will feature a diverse representation of supplier types, both categorically and geographically.  Supplier company types include: All-inclusive resort chains and individual properties; hotel and resort properties (EP); boutique/independent hotel properties; hotel representation companies; destinations/tourism boards; wholesalers/packaged vacation providers; cruise lines; destination management companies; transportation providers; and associations and resources for the family focused travel professional.

Only bonafide travel advisors who have been selected to participate and registered supplier personnel are eligible to attend the Family Travel Advisor Forum.   Spouses and guests are not permitted to participate unless they qualify under those terms.  If you plan to travel with a companion, your companion will not be permitted to attend any portion of the Forum.  Please note, additional accommodation fees will apply.
