TTMA's upcoming Events
MARCH event
This year, 2025, seems to have started with the world turned upside down. Terrorism in New Orleans on January 1, wildfires in LA just a week later (at least we had a most beautiful Rose Parade), and other events challenging us to figure out and plan around our economic and tourism landscape. Adding to these challenges, the shifting political climate continues to shape global tourism trends, influencing everything from travel policies to international visitor confidence.
Join TTMA on Tuesday, March 25, when we are pleased to feature Adam Burke, CEO of Los Angeles Tourism. Adam will provide us with an overview of Los Angeles’ current travel & tourism scenario, how LA Tourism is addressing fire and media-related impact on tourism, and will offer his insights on key learnings from this situation to build back better going forward.
This popular TTMA gathering promises to be especially informative and engaging given LA’s current tourism environment. Please join us!
A spECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERs
