Chamber Travels to South America

KentI have just returned from a Sales Mission to South America in Brazil with colleagues from Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wort Hotel, Teton Mountain Lodge/Hotel Terra, and Snow King Resort/Grand View Lodge. Besides the fact that this is a growing winter market and we are showing up in force, our competitors have been beating the doors and have been in force many years ahead of us.  But I must say, this was one of the BEST Sales Missions I have experienced in some time.

Presentations were given to over 400 Tour Operators, Travel Agents, and members of the media in the cities of Sao Paulo, Brasilia, and Rio de Janeiro all in a week's time. No rest for the weary!
I must recognize the unsung heroes of our Hotel Sales People that go out on the road, leaving families behind, to navigate foreign countries in different languages, time zones, currencies, and cultures to get the job done. We do it because that is what we do. We enjoy it and we love representing Jackson Hole. Thanks to those special individuals and their organizations that support them.
For more information, please contact Kent Elliott, Destination Sales Manager, kent@jacksonholechamber.com or 307.201.2306.
