WTCs Las Vegas and Saskatoon Enter MOU Agreement

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM, owner and producer of CES® continue to develop groundbreaking global business relationships with an official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the World Trade Center Las Vegas (WTC Las Vegas) and the World Trade Center Saskatoon. The agreement, signed during a ceremony at the 2018 World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) Annual Member Seminar in New York City this October, marks the first of its kind between WTC Las Vegas and a Canadian-based WTC entity.

Through the agreement, Las Vegas and Saskatoon will co-market under the World Trade Center brand creating access to key trade information, market research, and facilitate business trade opportunities around the world.

The WTCA encourages mutual assistance and cooperation among its members. In 2010, CTA was granted the rights to the World Trade Center Las Vegas license and partnered with the LVCVA in an effort to attract more international visitors and trade events to Las Vegas.

Currently, 16-percent, or nearly six million of all Las Vegas visitors, are international travelers and Las Vegas’ goal is to increase that figure steadily in the years to come. Canada is the No. 1 source of international visitation to Las Vegas with nearly 1.5 million visitors traveling to the destination in 2017.

“WTC Las Vegas recognizes and appreciates the tremendous value of developing strategic and meaningful partnerships with our WTC partners across the globe,” said Chris Meyer, WTC Las Vegas executive director and LVCVA vice president of sales. “In our experience with the WTCA, we have celebrated incredible successes as a result of MOU partnerships and are confident this new venture with WTC Saskatoon will result in a number of monumental wins for both destinations.”
