JOTO PR Disruptors Signs "Port of Go!" - Cruise, Destination & Travel Showcase
The travel industry is undergoing enormous innovation. "Port of Go!" - Cruise, Destination & Travel Showcase is a massive, biannual consumer-centric exposé alluring today's Modern Travelers, who demand choice, beyond just destinations for their travel needs.
TAMPA, Fla., March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Port of Go!" - Cruise, Destination & Travel Showcase!" is a one-of-a-kind, niche event series in the Travel and Tourism industry. This show represents a unique ability for companies with a consumer focus to expand upon their brand identity and foster new business within a highly targeted and motivated subset of consumers. Port of Go! is set to launch in Fall of 2020 in Orlando, Florida and was founded by R. Stan Kelly, CEO of Othal Partners, LLC. 20,000 are expected to be in attendance. Karla Jo Helms, Chief Evangelist and Anti-PR Strategist of JOTO PR Disruptors, recently signed Port of Go! and recognizes the opportunity in the changing travel and tourism market. "The [travel] industry is predicted to experience explosive growth and even more innovative disruption in the coming years," Helms said.
Part of the disruption Helms refers to is the new consumer mindset dictating the expansion. Consumers are demanding travel experiences that fulfill criteria in the areas of self-fulfillment, individuality, social consciousness and bucket-list traveling. With "Port of Go!" uniquely positioned as travel showcase experience, it promises the savvy traveler education, luxury of choice and tourism exclusives. The event is aimed to give industry retailers a platform to get in touch, in real time, with a captive and motivated audience of avid travelers.
One of Port of Go!'s consumer audiences are "working nomads"—travelers who want to stay on track with work while enjoying a cruise vacation. (1) As a remote workforce since 2015, Helms says she understands the value of this group. "Digital nomads can work remotely and fulfill their need of opting in for work-life balance," she says. "This is a growing niche within the travel industry today."
Port of Go! will also incorporate job fairs into their showcase, helping to fulfill large job demands before the upcoming 2020/2021 cruise traveler spike. For instance, tourism in Antarctica has seen a 50% spike over the past four years, and luxury travel companies are tripping over each other in the race to capitalize on it. (2)
There are seven to ten industry trends disrupting the travel industry. Port of Go! aims to capitalize on them all.
