The New York Times announced today that the sixth annual New York Times Travel Show will be held Feb. 6 - 8 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The Travel Show will feature nearly 500 exhibitors representing over 100 countries and will focus on travel destinations, packages and special offers, as well as tour operators, cruise lines and live entertainment for the whole family.
American Express has signed on to be the presenting sponsor of The New York Times Travel Show through 2011. As a founding sponsor, American Express has participated in the show since its inception.
This year, the Travel Show will move to the Main Hall, located on the south side of the Javits Center. The event will showcase the variety of travel and vacation opportunities for consumers of all types: those traveling solo, as a couple, without children or taking the whole family, those looking for budget vs. luxury trips, and those looking for relaxation and wellness trips or for adventure travel. The common thread will be the opportunity for consumers to book any type of vacation during the show taking advantage of all the special on-site promotions that provide the most value for their travel investment.
The New York Times Travel show is the largest consumer and trade travel event of its kind in the U.S. featuring different regions of the world including Africa, Asia, Australia/South Pacific, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Mexico, South America and the United States. Travel experts including Rick Steves, Arthur and Pauline Frommer, Stephanie Abrams and experts from the Travel Channel will take questions and offer tips in on-site seminars. Among the pavilions for specialty travel are: Adventure Travel, Luxury and Spa Travel and Cruise Travel.
'American Express is thrilled to once again be the presenting sponsor of The New York Times Travel Show,' says Lynne Biggar, senior vice president and general manager, American Express Travel. 'As a founding sponsor, we take particular pride in the show's record-breaking growth year after year, and we expect the 2009 Travel Show to follow suit. American Express's collaboration with The Times's Travel Show has been a successful one from the start. It has given us the opportunity to support an event that encourages and highlights the joys of travel and the invaluable service and expertise travel professionals provide, while showcasing the best-in-class travel benefits that American Express offers its Cardmembers and travel agency partners.'
'We are delighted to welcome back American Express as our presenting sponsor for this year and the years to come,' said Yasmin Namini, senior vice president, marketing and circulation, The New York Times. 'The Times's Travel Show has become a much anticipated destination for thousands of consumers each year. We look forward to a fantastic and successful show with plenty of opportunities for booking the trips you have always dreamed of taking.'
