New host cities announced for US Travel’s IPW
The U.S. Travel Association has unveiled the next IPW host cities through the end of the decade.
The lineup of IPW international travel trade show hosts will be Greater Fort Lauderdale in 2026,and New Orleans in 2027.
The 2028 edition will take place in Detroit, followed by Denver and Anaheim in 2030.
It will be the first time for Greater Fort Lauderdale and Detroit as IPW host cities.
“By serving as host site of IPW, each of these cities will play a key role in growing inbound travel and strengthening the US economy,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman.
“U.S. Travel looks forward to working with these destinations to bring the world to America and ensuring IPW remains a can’t-miss event on the global travel industry’s calendar.”
Past IPW cities have each generated more than $5.5 billion in future travel to the United States by connecting US travel exhibitors with travel buyers and media to promote local tourism products.
The event draws around 5,000 delegates, including 1,400 international delegates, for 90,000 scheduled business appointments over three days.
These IPW events will take place in either May or June.
The next two host cities—Los Angeles on May 3-7, 2024, and Chicago on June 14-18, 2025—were previously announced by the U.S. Travel Association.
“IPW will remain an indispensable tool in attracting international visitors and positioning the United States as the world’s top travel destination,” Freeman added.
