21st Annual Spotlight on the Southwest
April 28-30, 2019
El Paso TX
Pre-Fam - April 26-28, 2019
Details Available Soon
Save the dates – April 28-30. 2019 - Wyndham Hotel, El Paso TX. Spotlight on the Southwest is a tourism conference which combines educational seminars, networking functions and a trade show. Operators are primarily domestic (including Canada) and range from small operations to large receptive companies (and everything in between). The ratio of suppliers to operators is never more than 2.5 to 1.
Spotlight is casual and intimate. We don't just network - we build relationships at Spotlight. There are three days of interaction in which to conduct business. The goal is to build lasting relationships. New tour itineraries to off-the-beaten-path destinations are highlighted, using the closest Southwestern gateway cities and all they have to offer as arrival and departure points.
The first 20 operators to sign up will be included in the Spotlight pre-fam, April 25-28, 2019. All operators must complete a Spotlight Qualification Form to be eligible. Details will be available soon.
