Rates

*To receive the discounted Tour Operator registration rate:

• Each Tour Operator registered to take appointments receives their own book of appointments and is registered as a tour operator “Appointment Taker”. One email address may be associated with each appointment book.
• You must complete the company profile in the appointment portal prior to appointment requests opening.
• You must attend all prescheduled appointments and be available at your booth throughout all business sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
• Tour Operators not meeting these requirements will be invoiced an additional $375 USD.
• First Time Tour Operator Rate: Tour operators attending the annual conference and taking appointments for the first time receive a special introductory rate. They must meet the same requirements as tour operators taking appointments. Two operators from the same company attending for the first time may receive the special rate.
• Volume Tour Operator Rate: Available to SYTA members only. For every one appointment-taking attendee (one appointment book per attendee from the same company) from the same tour operator company, the company will receive one complimentary tour operator registration. They do not need to be an appointment taker.
