As a result of member feedback over the years, the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) has decided to change the dates of its Global Convention from late August to early May. At the same time, ASTA announced its partnership with Discover Puerto Rico to host the 2023 ASTA Global Convention (AGC) in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino and the Puerto Rico Convention Center, May 2-4, 2023.
Attendees will have access to the best of Puerto Rico’s rich history and culture through an offering of unique customized tours that will highlight the destination’s food, beaches, mountains, relaxing backdrops and active adventure. “We are delighted to partner with ASTA to host their 2023 Global Convention. Travel advisors are at the core of our industry, and these days, in which we are imagining and creating new paths to reignite and reshape travel, we want to be facilitators of the process and support our great partners,” said Brad Dean, CEO of Discover Puerto Rico.
Travel advisors can still expect all the same features they’ve come to expect at the ASTA Global Convention, such a robust trade show and education program, and a soon-to-be announced Puerto Rican keynote. In addition to the sightseeing tours to local landmarks, AGC 2023 will also include options for extended pre- and post- educational journeys around Puerto Rico.
Good to know: All travel professionals who register for this year’s AGC in San Francisco (held August 24-26, 2022) by August 5 will receive $100 off their registration for the 2023 Global Convention, in addition to receiving early access to all sightseeing tours.
