Statement
“To increase
the quality, value, effectiveness, and use of research in travel
marketing,
planning and

CenStates
TTRA Board of Directors
Here’s what our
members have to say:
“It’s the case
studies and practical application of the research that is most valuable
to me - - research is the tool that helps grow our business”. Catherine
Rasberry, Detroit Metro CVB
“It affords me
the ability to network with peers in my region who have similar
challenges and opportunities”. Jill Renner, Herschend Family Enterprises
“My financial
resources are limited. Today I must be able to justify the marketing we
do, this is where I get the answers”. Marilee Fowler, Evansville, CVB
“We find that
with CenStates we are in a highly targeted group of decision makers and
buyers for our products. If it’s all about networking, this is the
group. Many of the folks in CenStates have become personal friends!”
Terry Berggren, Ruf Strategic Marketing
