Third Annual Romance Travel Show Ready to Kick Off

And their off! Right out of the proverbial "Engagement Gate", many new brides and grooms-to-be who got engaged over the peak engagement season of Christmas to Valentine's Day, are now excited at the prospect of running off to some romantic locale in which to wed or honeymoon. If you haven't been to a Destination Wedding yet, chances are you know someone who has. According to TheKnot.com, 24% of all weddings today are performed in some foreign and exotic destination. 

Unfortunately that excitement high for these new lovers can come crashing down. As couples tirelessly search the internet or attend bridal show after bridal show or listen to the many varying advice from friends and family alike, many start to get discouraged or overwhelmed with their travel plans. "Where is the best destination? What is the resort really like? Is it safe to travel? How do I find the best value for dollar for my guests?" are only some of the thoughts that change their pounding hearts to pounding heads. 

Serving this specific niche market, Romantic Planet Vacations Inc, a Canadian travel specialist in Honeymoons and Destination Weddings since 2004, has produced "The Romance Travel Show", which takes place every year in February. The format of the event is a consumer trade show expo with top travel suppliers that cater to honeymooners and destination wedding groups and a presentation with Q&A by expert travel and wedding planning personal. "I see it year after year. Many brides and grooms come to the show already feeling tired and worn-down but leave the show with new found enthusiasm and happiness after learning about the destinations and tips that will make their honeymoon or destination wedding plans a great success!" proclaims Laurie Keith, president of Romantic Planet Vacations. "It's a show that our staff, exhibitors and attendees alike really enjoy." 

Some of the exhibitors at this year's event include Barcelo Hotels and Resorts, Iberostar, Occidental, Melia, Sandos, Bluebay, Dreams, Secrets, Palace, El Cid, Azul, El Dorado, Palladium, Sunwing/Signature Vacations, Jamaica Tourist Board and Barbados Tourism Authority to name a few.  

The Romance Travel Show will be held in Calgary on February 20, 2013 at the Blackfoot Inn, in Edmonton on February 21, 2013 at the Chateau Nova Hotel and in Toronto on February 28, 2012 at the Holiday Inn Airport East. Brides, grooms and their entourages can RSVP at www.romanticplanet.ca/rsvp. All bride and groom attendees will be entered to win the grand prize of a luxury trip for two to the 5-star Excellence Resort in the Mayan Riviera.
