The new year has begun, and we have started it off strong with the 2024 Utah Travel Expos! This year marked the 14^th show in St. George and the 28^th year of the show in Sandy.

As January comes to a close, we celebrate another year of successful travel expos in St. George and Sandy. Our advisors spent the expos answering questions and booking travel right on the spot, and guests to the Utah Travel Expo left inspired about the world of travel opportunities.

We want to personally thank everyone who joined us at the 2024 Utah Travel Expo. We had approximately 1,500 guests in St. George and 7,500 at the Sandy show! 20 of those guests left the show with some incredible prizes, from stays in Mexico and Hawaii to 7-night cruises in Alaska and the Caribbean. If you would like to redeem the $50 Morris Columbus gift card you received at the door, call your MCT travel advisor to book your next vacation package before April 30^th. Terms and conditions apply.

This year we had over 40 travel vendors at the St. George show and more than 100 in Sandy. These included 25 cruise lines such as Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking; 24 tour operators like Apple Vacations, Delta Vacations, and Pleasant Holidays; 15 hotels and resorts; and tourism boards from Jamaica to Taiwan. Many of our attending vendors offered generous show specials for those who booked travel at the show.

Speaking of which, the 2024 Utah Travel Expos are the gift that keeps on giving, since most of the show specials offered by our travel vendors are valid through February 9^th.
