Welcome to the next edition of the Family Travel Association newsletter.
We have some exciting news to share with you this month, starting with our Lunch & Learn series of events. Created for members only, these webinars are designed to give you a chance to get important family travel education directly from the source. Our first Lunch & Learn focused on the destination of Fiji, which is one of the most family-friendly spots out there. Ruth Daly from Tourism Fiji lead the discussion and shared information that is sure to help you learn more about the islands. If you are curious about our future Lunch & Learn events, check out the schedule here.
In other big news this month, I am very pleased to announce more details about the return of the FTA Annual Summit. Please save the date of Oct. 12-15 for the Summit, which will take place in Boston, Mass. We’re so excited to bring FTA members to this great family-friendly destination for three days of networking, education, business appointments, presentations and destination immersion. More details will be available soon.
Finally, I just want to mention again that we’re looking for member volunteers to join our association committees. These groups have a major influence on the direction of the FTA, so you should be sure to get involved. Whether you’re a media member, travel advisor or supplier, we have a committee that meets your needs. Please email Kasie Smith (kasie@familytravel.org) for more information.
