Testimonials

Arival has quickly established itself as the knowledge and debate centrifuge of the tours, activities, and attractions community. What comes out of Arival is clear, thoughtful and practical.

Wendy Morrill

WYSE Travel Confederation
Informative and fun event, uniquely designed for those of us in the attractions & tours sector. I’ll be at Arival 2019 in Orlando, and I’ll bring colleagues too!

Aimie Johnson

The Florida Aquarium
I’ve long admired the great work and industry-centric approach that Douglas & Bruce have utilized to educate and bring the Attractions industry together. The past year has brought unprecedented challenges for everyone, regardless of the role you play within the travel and tourism space.

Tony Goodmann

Universal Orlando Resort
Arival was definitely worth the trip from Australia, the content presented and the contacts we made were extremely important to our continued business development.

John Sharpe

Riverlife
Arival is a necessary first step to unite the tours and attractions industry and shine the spotlight on what really matters about travel, the moments, memories and experiences!

Chandra Bertsch

Holo Holo Charters
I learned that tour suppliers need to market themselves as widely as possible on as many different platforms as they can. The results of visiting Arival have been overwhelmingly positive. I met with so many like minded people, I had an amazing time at Arival.

Ashley Steyaert

One Ocean Diving
Such a fantastic event. I already know that just from the people I’ve met and the learnings I’ve picked up, this conference has paid for itself. Thank you for a great week!

Lauren

Local Food Adventures
We were at ARIVAL in Vegas 2017, disoriented, scared, and 100% blind on how, where, and when to take the next steps to improve our business. We came back strong, educated, and optimistic. We met you! You treated us as a large company! We felt important! Repeated Vegas 2018, couldn’t make it to Orlando, but I will sell my dog to see you in Phoenix!! A huge challenge ahead… our whole life is on the line here… but because of YOU… we are not afraid of the future.

Carlos & Gabriela Hudson

La Isla Tour
I have now attended Arival in Las Vegas and Berlin and the connections I have made have been incredible. Meeting tour operators face to face is the best form of ‘marketing’ anyone can do. If I was to put this into monetary terms, The Tourism Marketing Agency has generated approx £40,000 in yearly sales by attending Arival.
