Why is AAA Travel offering an online event?
Today's traveler faces too many choices on what destination, how to get there, where to stay, who to book through and so on. As the largest full-service leisure travel agency, AAA & CAA Travel wants to use its collective expertise to help AAA members narrow down their number of choices or introduce them to a new way to have a memorable vacation experience.
Through this online forum, this virtual travel show will make it easy for AAA Travel experts, cruise line experts, and members to interact and share information and experience.
How long has AAA Travel been offering these events?
In early 2008, AAA launched the Virtual Travel Show concept which is the first interactive, multi dimensional, online consumer travel event. This event is an ongoing series.
