2025 AAA Cleveland Expo Recap

Your New York State Tourism Champions booth was at the AAA Cleveland Vacation Expo, held at the Embassy Suites Cleveland Rockside on Sunday, October 19th. 

The expo had a good mix of families and retirees looking to plan their next vacation.  We saw good traffic in the booth from expo attendees, most taking multiple guides, looking to create unique multi-stop tours across New York State. Attendees were impressed with the wealth of information we provided on many diverse New York State destinations. One question frequently asked by attendees was about traveling by train across the state and looking for scenic train rides. 

Towards the end of the expo, the AAA travel advisors also stopped by the booth, looking to take a variety of Tourism Champion travel guides to distribute at their offices. They were excited about being able to provide additional information about New York State destinations.
