IPW

IPW is recognized as the premier travel trade show and the leading inbound travel marketplace dedicated to increasing international visitation to the United States. This annual event serves as a crucial platform where global demand for U.S. travel meets its supply, facilitating connections between international and domestic buyers—including tour operators, wholesalers, and receptive operators—with U.S. suppliers such as Destination Marketing Organizations, hotels, attractions, and transportation companies. It also attracts international and domestic travel journalists.

The event is strategically designed to generate billions in future U.S. travel, with business conversations initiated at IPW often leading to bookings two to three years later. Exhibitors gain significant value by connecting with partners, driving new business, and positioning their brands at the forefront of the global travel marketplace. Over 64% of buyers report planning to book destinations they had not considered prior to attending.

IPW delivers unmatched productivity through more than 40 face-to-face pre-scheduled appointments, curated networking events, and high-impact sponsor activations, fostering lasting partnerships and reinforcing the strength of U.S. travel. It is held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, an extensive venue featuring 1.1 million sq. ft. of prime exhibit space.
