INTRODUCING

2019 ATWS Inaugural Adventure Gear Trail

Showcasing gear, destination, and brand partners from around the globe

To spice up the way in which outdoor gear/apparel brands are invited and integrated into the global adventure tourism community, the ATTA is introducing a new Adventure Gear Trail for the 2019 Adventure Travel World Summit.

Throughout the entire Summit venue, outdoor gear/apparel brands will showcase their brand through gear exhibits and branded partner tables in high-traffic areas, as well as participate as a full Summit delegate to encourage networking.

Outdoor brands will be side by side with destination throughout the Summit venue (Hotel Post) for the duration of the conference to stimulate networking between the two industries. Showcasing and testing gear, in addition to building new relationships and creating business opportunities between the outdoor and travel industry representatives will be available at this year’s Summit.
See you in Gothenburg in September!
