13th Annual Travel Show

Morris Murdock Travel is going to host our 13th Annual Travel Show January 30-31 at the South Town Expo Center in Sandy, Utah.

“We are so excited to host the travel show again,” said Becky Potts, the President of Morris Murdock. “For the past fifty years we have been the leader in business, leisure, luxury, escorted tour, and meetings and incentives travel. Through our success we have developed associations with some of the top names in the industry and now they are returning to Utah to offer visitors to our show incredible discounts and special offers.”

Did you catch that? Incredible discounts and special offers. Ok, I'm in!

“The show is an especially great opportunity for travelers looking to save a bit of money this year,” Becky continued. “Given these economic times, travelers are getting more careful with their money. They want to get the best value possible, but also feel assured that they are getting the vacation of their dreams. With all the knowledgeable travel specialists that will be on hand at the show to answer questions and assist travelers in finding the best rates available, visitors to the show can get the vacation they’ve always dreamed of in an affordable and worry-free way.”

So at the show itself we'll have over 60 international travel-related companies such as Princess Cruises, Holland America, Funjet Vacation, Trafalgar Tours, and Royal Caribbean will be on hand to offer you these exclusive rates and to inform the public (i.e. anyone looking for some huge vacation savings) about unique travel opportunities.

Visitors to the show will enjoy free destination and product seminars by industry experts, hourly prize giveaways, exclusive vacation deals, and live entertainment provided by Disney Street Dancers, a Mariachi band, Polynesian performing groups, the musical troupe On Stage Alaska, and special travel presentations on the main stage. Special appearances are planned by local personalities including former television anchor Dick Nourse and the Utah Jazz Bear.

“This show is the only one like it in Utah,” said Vanessa Christensen, our show coordinator. “Visitors can come and take advantage of vacation packages and prices that aren’t available anywhere else. They can also enjoy the free seminars, live entertainment, and have the opportunity to win big in our prize giveaways.”

Admission to the show is $5 for adults, $4 for Seniors 55 years and older, and under 17 are free. Show times are Friday January 30th from 3:00pm-8:00pm and Saturday January 31st from 10:00am-4:00pm.

Just FYI, our 2008 show was attended by over three thousand visitors and generated more than $1.6-million in sales over a two day period. The sales were THAT good.

So as you look over your 2009 vacation day schedule and wonder how to finally take that vacation you've been dreaming about, come stop by our travel show and we'll help you make it happen. Isn't it time you got out to see the world up close?
