SALEM, Ohio — Williamsburg, Virginia, one of the nation’s foremost historic destinations, is looking to remain ahead of the pack by hosting a series of national travel conferences over the next three years. Visit Williamsburg will host Select Traveler Conference 2026, African American Travel Conference 2027 and Small Market Meetings Conference 2028. All three travel events operate under the umbrella of Group Travel Family of Brands and focus on the affinity travel and meetings markets.
Select Traveler Conference will deliver upscale affinity travel planners to experience Williamsburg firsthand. African American Travel Conference delivers the diversity market, and Small Market Meetings Conference brings meeting planners to discover the value that Williamsburg offers event planners seeking destinations of small and medium footprints.
“We are excited to assist Visit Williamsburg in hosting these events and know that many of our conference delegates will return with travel bookings to Williamsburg for years to come,” said Jennifer Ferguson of The Group Travel Family. Ferguson worked directly with Edward Harris, Visit Williamsburg’s chief operating officer, in securing the conference host agreement.
“Working with Edward Harris was such a pleasure,” Ferguson said. “He really understands the affinity travel markets as well as the unique position that Williamsburg holds in the travel industry.”
