NEW YORK -- The U.S. Tour Operators Association scheduled the
inaugural USTOA/Travelers Conservation Foundation (TCF) Leadership
Summit & Auction for Oct. 25 to 28 at the Melia Caribe Tropical
in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Hosted by Sol Melia Hotels & Resorts, this conference
contains a triple purpose.
Its primary function is to raise funds for the nonprofit TCF in
order to support its mission of protecting the world's natural,
cultural and historic treasures.
Money will be raised through the sponsorship of various
activities during the event such as the golf tournament, and
through live and silent auctions of donated merchandise.
A second purpose for the event is to bring together travel
professionals in an informal setting for networking. The third
function is to promote the Dominican Republic and Sol Melia Hotels
& Resorts.
Event sponsors or buyers participating in the auction are not
required to be USTOA members.

Summit Management at (305) 234-1077 or by e-mailing [email protected].
