About the Travel Fair
The TTIA Texas Travel Fair, an annual trade show for TTIA members
only, is held as part of the Texas Travel Counselors Conference sponsored
by the Texas Department of Transportation - Travel Information Division.
The travel counselors who attend this event work at Texas Department
of Transportation Travel Information Centers, AAA offices, Visitor Centers,
Texas Parks and Wildlife offices, and Texas Highways magazine. These
professionals give guidance to more than four million Texas travelers
each year. As part of the training for travel counselors, TTIA members
are invited to discuss their destinations, attractions or events during
the conference and at the Texas Travel Fair. Registration includes activities
designed to put you face-to-face with travel counselors during workshops,
the trade show and informal settings.
