The US Travel Association enjoyed record attendance at International Pow Wow 2013 which took place 8-12 June in Las Vegas following a previous recession dip.
IPW attracted nearly 6,400 total delegates from the United States and 70 other countries, including 1,300 international and domestic buyers — tour operators that sell travel to the United States.
"After a dip during the recent recession, America’s travel industry is back with great strength," U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow said in a statement.
"IPW has experienced double-digit growth over the last three years, and literally billions of dollars in deals are being signed this week with tour operators that will bring more international visitors into the United States."
Chicago will host the event in 2014, previously hosting in 1998, and Orlando will host in 2015 having previously hosted the event in 2010.
