"Travel South USA" across Italy

Travel South USA

The US remains the top long-haul destination for Italians; the South of the US, in particular, is gaining attention for its rich culture, natural beauty, and vibrant lifestyle.​

In January 2025, Travel South USA Italy coordinated a successful multi-city program aimed at promoting the Southern US.

The program included B2B meetings with travel agencies, key decision-makers, and media, with the goal of driving market growth and economic prosperity. ​

The event featured insights on booking trends and the Italian travel industry, along with 50 B2B meetings and presentations to an audience of over 100 travel agencies.​

The added value came from strong partnerships with Louisiana and Tennessee, where unique activations highlighted the core pillars of Travel South USA, drinks, music, and exceptional hospitality. These collaborations helped showcase the region’s distinct offerings, further strengthening its appeal to Italian travelers.
