The countdown is on until we greet our members at this year’s Marketplace in Toronto, December 11-13^th. The OMCA team is hard at work putting the final touches this keystone event. With over 5,700 business to business meeting occurring on the Marketplace floor this year, a great line up of speakers and new and exciting networking events, OMCA’s Marketplace is one not to miss. Next year, we are hosting Marketplace in Windsor, Ontario from November 4th – 6th, 2024. Please save the date and look out for registration opening in the new year. We have also been hard at work on our advocacy files, ensuring that governments know and appreciate the economic contributions that the motor coach and group travel segment make in the communities we visit as well as what our members need to prosper.

Our work at OMCA is supported by our members and as we start to turn the page on 2023. I want to thank you for supporting OMCA as a member and trusting us as your partner in building a prosperous and resilient group travel industry. We’re thankful for our ongoing collaboration with our members and event sponsors, and with the government departments we work with, and look forward to working with all stakeholders in 2024 and beyond to continue to rebuild this sector. Please take a moment to log into your My OMCA Association portal and ensure that we have your up-to-date contact information. Please follow us on any of our social media accounts, and be sure to tag us in your group travel posts. Both are a great way to ensure you are up to date on our industry news and on what is happening with OMCA.
