La Cita De Las Americas, Creating a New Path for Travel Industry Tradeshows

Rick Still

Rick Still, Managing Director at La Cita de las Americas, a one-on-one appointment conference, focused on building relationships and partnerships to grow inbound travel to the US from Latin America and the Caribbean joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Rick Still discuss the following:

  • Tell me about the road leading up to La Cita, how La Cita came to be?
  • What makes La Cita unique and different from all the other travel trade shows out there?
  • Where do you see the travel industry going in the next five years?
  • How is it having your family involved in the business?
  • What is your goal for the show this year and when is it scheduled?

Summary:  We are not a trade show where vendors stand in a booth and delegates walk around a pavilion hoping to meet potential clients. Our emphasis is on business being personal. We understand the strong role relationships play in the business of travel, and recognized that there was a major void in what the existing conferences and expos were offering, especially in relation to Latin America. In order to fill that gap in the market, we created a different kind of trade show to fit that niche, where cultivating personal relationships with suppliers and buyers is the priority. Strong relationships and partnerships are especially important to successfully doing business in Latin America. The culture in these countries is very personal and familiar and business is conducted as such. A huge emphasis is placed on trust, long-standing relationships, and a mutual understanding of the opportunities and pressures related to their industry, and they can find all of this at La Cita.
