TTMA Presents: The State of the International Traveler

Join TTMA on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at The East Angel in Downtown Los Angeles for a timely look at the evolving international traveler and the forces shaping inbound travel demand.

As international travel continues to evolve, destinations and hospitality organizations are navigating shifting consumer priorities, changing travel patterns, major global events, and an increasingly competitive tourism landscape.

This program will bring together leaders across destination marketing, travel research, and tourism economics to explore who is traveling, where they’re coming from, what’s influencing their decisions, and what these trends mean for the future of tourism.

Through expert presentations, data-driven insights, and industry discussion, we’ll explore:

• Current international travel demand and consumer behavior
• Who is traveling internationally and what motivates their decisions
• Emerging trends shaping the international traveler
• Economic factors influencing tourism and hospitality performance
