Trade and Exploratory Missions

Trade and exploratory missions put you face to face with key players in the local travel industry and often with U.S. Embassy officials in the country you are visiting.  You will learn and evaluate their needs as well as your own.  You will also have the opportunity to discuss your destination/ product.  Be one step ahead of your competitors and participate in U.S. Travel's exploratory and trade missions.
