ATLANTIC CITY – The New Jersey Tourism Industry Association (NJTIA) and the Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement and Development Authority (GWTIDA) sponsored twelve students from Cape May County Technical High School’s Travel, Tourism, Event Planning and Marketing program to attend the New Jersey Conference on Tourism Dec. 5, held at the Hard Rock Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, where they met the industry’s leading professionals along with local and state officials.
“GWTIDA is proud to sponsor these students’ attendance at this year’s conference, so that they may meet the industry’s leading professionals, attend important seminars and learn more about the travel and tourism in New Jersey,” said GWTIDA CFO/Executive Director John Siciliano. “They are the future of New Jersey’s tourism industry,” he continued.
This marks the sixth year NJTIA and GWTIDA have sponsored Cape May County Technical High School students. This year, twelve students, including sophomores, juniors and seniors, attended the conference. Students who successfully complete the Travel and Tourism course, taught by Jennifer Siciliano, will earn college credits that may be applied to the Atlantic Cape Community College or Johnson and Wales College of Travel and Tourism programs, allowing students to have a well-rounded background in the industry.
Organized by the NJTIA, the 2018 NJ Conference on Tourism offers unique networking opportunities with industry professionals from all over New Jersey. Sessions include marketing tactics and tools of the trade that have been proven to drive tourism traffic into towns during their peak seasons and how to keep themselves relevant during the off-season.
