Showcasing the Heartland's top destinations for group tours

Get your share of the business

More than $13 million in group tour revenue is booked through Heartland Travel Showcase each year. Plus, many of the tour operators who attend Heartland do not attend other national shows, giving suppliers a competitive advantage. Not only that, but since production of Heartland Travel Showcase was brought in house, we've increased the number of available appointments by 50 percent! You now have up to 65 appointment opportunities.

Who attends

Tour operators from across North America and representatives from DMOs, attractions, museums, hotels and more from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, Wisconsin, plus Ontario, Canada.
