Denver & Colorado Plan to Roll Out the Red Carpet, May 19-23, 2018!

Since winning the official host city bid for the U.S. Travel Association's IPW 2018, VISIT DENVER has engaged industry partners throughout the state, including the Colorado Tourism Office, to begin planning for this exciting opportunity. IPW is the travel industry's premier international marketplace and the largest generator of travel to the U.S.  (For more information, see ipw.com)

"Hosting IPW is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to showcase our city and state to the world. This 'Super Bowl' of the global travel industry connects U.S. travel destinations with international travel companies and journalists to help all of us increase international visitors. Denver is honored to be the host for IPW, May 19-23, 2018," said Richard Scharf, president & CEO of VISIT DENVER. 

"For many delegates, IPW 2018 will be their first introduction to Denver and Colorado, so we definitely plan to roll out the red carpet," said Scharf. "Denver is not only the premier gateway to the Rocky Mountain West and America's best skiing at resorts like Vail, it is also an urban destination with a small-town feel for international travelers to explore - from the thriving arts and cultural scene and our Western heritage, to the creativity of craft brewers and local chefs. And, of course, there is plenty of shopping!"
