Dear New England Tourism Industry:
Fall in New England is a special time and what has made it even better this year is the October 15 announcement by the U.S. government that we are now welcoming vaccinated international travelers back this month. And we’re looking forward to doing just that!
I spent the last week of October in London with our friends at TTM participating in Brand USA Travel Week. It was great to finally connect in person and discuss our region. While COVID-19 was and continues to be a challenging time for every industry, it gives me great pride that our travel industry is not only resilient but continues to grow and innovate in preparation for much-anticipated travelers making their return to New England.
During the show, DNE had 40 scheduled appointments with tour operators in UK/Ireland, Belgium/Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland/Denmark. The enthusiasm for the New England states was palpable, and we aim to continue that momentum and energy moving into 2022.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to be in touch.
Best regards,
