TAP Virtual Travel Showcase

The TAP Virtual Travel Showcase provides TAP Tour Operators, Guild Members, and PPTPs the opportunity to connect with TAP’s network of over 6,700 travel buyers who are looking for new places, unique experiences, and hospitality at its finest for their clients. Through a hybrid workshop-webinar style format, this showcase is designed to engage and educate the travel buyer audience on your destination or attraction’s hidden gems, unique, authentic experiences, and niche group opportunities.

This year’s theme is “Niche Travel Opportunities” — a chance to highlight the unique, interest-based travel experiences your destination or product offers. We invite you to showcase how you cater to niche groups or FIT travelers. Think of travelers drawn by a shared passion or purpose — from birding and photography to quilting, gardening, or even novel tourism. Use visuals and stories to bring the unique experiences in your destination, attraction, or tour to life!

NEW for 2025

To enhance the value and engagement of this year’s Travel Showcase, we’re introducing a brand-new component: four 15-minute hands-on educational workshops (led by TAP HQ) designed specifically with both presenters and attendees in mind.

Based on feedback from our travel buyer community, these workshops will focus on key topics that support the growth of group travel business, offering actionable insights and practical tools they can apply right away—making this year’s Travel Showcase more valuable than ever. They will also be used to introduce the presenters for the upcoming block of presentations, and encourage conversation and questions throughout the event.

PRESENTER REQUIREMENTS:

• Provide a title, short description, headshot, and destination image that we can use to promote your presentation. (DEADLINE SEPT 22ND)
• Provide a niche itinerary to distribute to the audience. (DEADLINE SEPT 22ND)
• Record a 12-15 minute presentation in advance, featuring your niche travel opportunities for groups and individuals. This recording can be done completely on your own, or we can assist if needed. We will provide some guidelines and technology recommendations, but it can be as simple as starting a Zoom meeting by yourself and hitting the record button – no one else needs to be there. (DEADLINE SEPT 29TH)
• Join the live presentation on Oct 22 or 23 during your selected slot for a 5-7 minute Q&A session following your pre-recorded presentation.
