Overview

Mission

To provide for the education and training of individuals involved with the Vermont tourism industry.

What it reported doing in 2025

Vermont tourism summit, inc. (vts) meets its mandate in two very specific ways. The first is through the annual conference, which is designed every year by a planning committee co-chaired by the vtic board chair (volunteer) and a contracted coordinator. Membership on this committee is open to all interested parties. Second, vts offers scholarship funds to Vermont students and tourism professionals wanting to continue their education by participating in the conference. The amount and number of awards given each year is predicated upon vts' fiscal resources, the sum of applicants and the nature of their requests.
