Routes is preparing for their annual event, this year taking place in Las Vegas, and just sent out this mailing which I thought might be worth sharing with my readers:
This year World Routes, the 19th World Route Development Forum, takes place in Las Vegas, USA from 5 to 8 October. It will be the largest civil aviation event to date, attracting 3,000 high-profile delegates from more than 100 countries worldwide. Co-hosted by the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority and Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, the event will be held in the Las Vegas Convention Center and will mark the first time any Routes event has been held in the USA.

Las Vegas is one of the most iconic travel destinations in the world with nearly 40 million annual visitors. While Las Vegas has long been known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” today, it is also recognized as the world’s leading convention and meetings destination. Las Vegas recently opened Terminal 3, a $2.4 billion technologically advanced international terminal at McCarran International Airport. With more than $6.6 billion in planned projects on the horizon, Las Vegas continues to evolve as an international business destination. You can expect world-class hospitality and exceptional customer service while enjoying the world’s best dining, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife experiences.
We very much hope that you will be able to join us at this unrivalled event.
Yours sincerely,
Victoria
