Strong Start: D.C. travel intenders are ready to explore New York!
We launched our 2026 travel show schedule with the Washington, D.C. Travel Adventure Show, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, January 17th and 18th. Booth traffic was great, with enthusiastic travelers eager to explore New York State.
The show was crowded, with attendees of all ages seeking diverse experiences. Many expressed interest in trips related to America's 250th Commemoration. Many of the people visiting our exhibit booth had family ties to New York State and planned an extended visit. Most planned to travel by train, while others opted to drive or fly.
We were joined at the show by booths from Destination Dutchess, the Seneca Nation, and the Corning Museum of Glass.
Next Up: New York City Travel & Adventure Show on January 24-25; Pittsburgh AAA Travel Showcase January 23-25.
