Black Meetings & Tourism announced recently that it is presenting its revamped
Global Travel Pavilion (GTP) at this year's
45th Annual Congressional Black Caucus Legislative Conference (CBC ALC) to be held at the
Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC September 16-19.
The BM&T Global Travel Pavilion will be a high visibility designated section of the CBC ALC Exhibition Showcase which is devoted to domestic and international travel and tourism related businesses & services.
"Black Meetings & Tourism successfully presented the BM&T Global Travel Pavilion for a number of years, but discontinued the event after 9/11 and the resulting downturn in travel activity," explains BM&T Associate Publisher/Editor Gloria Herbert. "The decision was made to bring back the Global Travel Pavilion after renewed interest was expressed in the event by many of BM&T's industry partners," he adds.
Corporate Sponsors of the BM&T Global Travel Pavilion will receive an array of benefits, including acknowledgement on all GTP signage, full-page ads in both Black Meetings & Tourism magazine and the BM&T Global Travel Pavilion Directory, prime booth space in the pavilion, editorial mention in BM&T's print and digital magazine, newsletter and on website, to name a few.
