Las Vegas to host IPW 2021
Las Vegas will get to host travel trade show IPW after all.
This year’s event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority will host the show from May 10-14, 2021.
Chicago had already been allocated for the 2021 edition but has now agreed to relinquish its hosting duties and will instead hold the event in 2025.
"Cancelling this year’s IPW was a difficult though clearly necessary call, and our future host cities came together to achieve a win-win outcome for the future of the event," said US Travel Association president and CEO Roger Dow.
"We are deeply grateful to Chicago, which had one of the most successful IPWs in recent memory as a first-time host in 2014, for their flexibility, generosity, and collaborative spirit."
Following next year’s event, IPW will head to Orlando in 2022, San Antonio in 2023, and Los Angeles in 2024.
"Like many of our industry colleagues, we are anxious to contribute to the travel and tourism recovery efforts," said Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
IPW is a major inbound travel trade showcase, generating up to $5.5 billion in future travel to the US.
It allows US travel suppliers to connect with travel buyers and international media from more than 70 countries to market their products.
