Tour Operator Spots Sold Out for Upcoming Mountain Travel Symposium, Waitlist Building
Business Opportunities for Suppliers at an All-Time High
Rutherford, NJ - Mountain Travel Symposium (MTS), the mountain travel industry’s largest and longest-running conference, is sold out of spots for tour operator participation during the Trade Exchange portion of the event. MTS is taking place in Snowmass Village, Colorado, Monday, April 7 to Saturday, April 12, 2025.
During the MTS Trade Exchange, tour operators meet with sellers from major resorts, hotels, lodging properties, ski companies, car rental firms, ground transportation providers, equipment rental companies, activity operators, property management groups, travel insurance providers, and tourism bureaus in pre-scheduled face-to-face appointments. The record number of participating tour operators means business opportunities for suppliers are at an all-time high.
“We have not seen such high tour operator participation numbers in over ten years,” said Alicia Evanko-Lewis, Executive Vice President, Events, Northstar Travel Group. “The increased tour operator participation has driven high supplier interest. We’re on target to see one of the largest MTS events yet. This not only speaks volumes to the health of our industry, but to the value that MTS provides to the mountain tourism community.”
The annual event brings together mountain travel professionals from 35+ countries to forge business connections, exchange ideas, and to learn about what’s trending in the industry. This week-long event is comprised of several integral components in addition to the Trade Exchange that make it a must-attend for anyone in the mountain travel industry.
The MTS Forum stands as the epicenter of insightful discussions and knowledge exchange. It gathers industry leaders, visionaries, and seasoned experts to delve into the most critical topics shaping the mountain travel sector. The Forum provides attendees with in-depth dialogues on a wide array of subjects, from innovative marketing strategies to sustainable practices, cutting-edge technology trends, and industry best practices.
MTS also champions the development of future leaders within the industry through the Young Leaders Summit. This provides a dedicated platform for emerging professionals under the age of 40 to connect, learn, and gain insights from established leaders, offering a unique opportunity for the younger generation to forge their path forward.
The Group Exchange brings together ski club leaders with suppliers for one-on-one appointments, allowing ski club leaders to plan out their club's trips for the upcoming years while engaging directly with suppliers who are keen to host them.
MTS also offers an abundance of networking opportunities, including Networking Ski Days where attendees can experience the host mountain for themselves. These networking events foster relationships that extend beyond corporate dialogue.
It’s not too late to join in the event. For more information and to register, visit www.mtntrvl.com. Tour operators who want to be placed on a waiting list please contact Ximena Llanes at xllanes@ntmllc.com.
