Highly anticipated Governor’s Conference on Tourism Returns to Nevada in October
RENO, NV – After four years, Travel Nevada’s Governor’s Conference on Tourism is set to return to Las Vegas Oct. 29 and 30, 2024. The much-celebrated event will be held entirely at the Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. The conference, themed “Hospitality the Nevada Way,” will provide attendees with informational sessions and panels about Nevada’s important and first-class tourism industry.
Tourism is an integral part of Nevada’s economy, generating a total economic impact of $83.7 billion in 2023 and accounting for 21% of all jobs in the state. The Governor’s Conference on Tourism is a way to bring together hospitality professionals to envision the future of our state’s tourism efforts and how we can creatively and effectively increase visitation to Nevada.

Topics covered will range from sustainable travel to the future of transportation in the Silver State to using technology in the traveler journey.
