Back to School Shopping

Simply Sales

Student Tour Operators from around the U.S. and 25 countries, descended upon New York City to meet with suppliers of tourism products at the 2011 SYTA Annual Conference held August 19-24.

We were in mid-town Manhattan and I must confess, the shopping available was abundant if not overwhelming! I did squeeze in some time browsing on Seventh and Fifth Avenues. However, the style of back-to-school shopping, presented at the conference, was not the sneakers and jeans type, but rather the shopping for student tour destinations which include new museums, cultural sites, performance venues, student-friendly dining options and student-friendly lodging.

Representing the  Pocono Mountains, I was selling our Outdoor Classroom Experience!  Great Wolf Pocono Mountains was also there in full-force trying to book more student groups. We hit the tradeshow floor running, literally and figuratively, and made over 65 appointments between us!

Interests were CBK Mountain Adventures, Pocono Whitewater, skiing and a few select performance venues including Penn's Peak, Sherman Theater and Mountain Laurel Performing Arts Center.

So, take your studies outdoors in the Pocono Mountains!
