Melissa Sanchez, Wonderworks, Orlando
"I became aware of SYTA while volunteering for their Orlando Conference back in September 2004. Right after that conference, we decided to join the association. Being a member of SYTA has offered multiple benefits: a better understanding of the student market, great networking opportunities and a significant increase in sales. Thanks, SYTA."

Melissa Hopper, Norfolk CVB:
"It's an education, a resource and an invaluable networking opportunity...with SYTA you gain credibility, confidence and a healthier bottom line. Student and youth travel is a booming, fast-changing market and SYTA puts you front and center for sales prospects."

Christine Bradley, National Aquarium, Baltimore:
I enjoy my membership with SYTA and all that it has to offer. SYTA gives me the opportunity to meet with operators in a more relaxed setting with Roundtable discussions and Blue Card appointments in addition to scheduled appointments. I always look forward to seeing my old friends and making new ones at the annual convention."

Lisa Catron, Memphis CVB:
"Since SYTA (the conference) was in Memphis, TN in 2005, we have tripled our room nights with student travel. We have more festival organizers and educational tour operators booking our great city because we are known for our Music, History and Heritage. We are the Home of the Blues and Birthplace of Rock'n'Roll and now more and more students across the US and International are aware of our great city. Thank you SYTA for making a 2nd tier city FIRST in the Student Travel Destination Planning."
