| ABA Convention Appointment Leads |
 Kansas Travel & Tourism recently attended the American Bus Association (ABA) Convention in National Harbor, MD where 18 seven-minute appointments were conducted with tour planners either specifically requesting Kansas itineraries or information or looking for new stops across the state to add to current tours. To secure new business for Kansas, our success is dependent on industry partners working together, cross-selling and following up on the information requested.
Click here to download a PDF of the appointment leads. Please contact Kelli Hilliard at (785) 296-4922 if you need further assistance.
