Also new for IPW 2022 is the launching of a new website that will house the assets of all members of SDP-USA in one convenient location.

A simple QR code on the SDP-USA sales sheet for IPW 2022 will take the travel trade right to the appropriate site.
 
Feimster went on to explain that the SDP-USA mission includes providing tour operators with new products they can sell that includes the top two travel activities: shopping and dining. Packaged with the unique entertainment and culture that each project brings to the brand, the traveler will be able to see and do everything they desire in each cities' main shopping and dining attraction.
 
“These shopping and dining attractions are parallel in what they have to offer—unique shopping, culinary delights, free entertainment, and interesting exhibits.” She added, “It is important to continue to provide the unique and exciting experiences that today's savvy travelers are seeking, especially now as we are successfully climbing out of the pandemic, and travel is resuming.”
 
“Also, these attractions offer numerous experiences for Group, FIT Travel, M.I.C.E. and Student Travel. We offer flexibility in our programs for tour operators so that we can accommodate custom requests that we receive from the travel trade,” said Feimster.
