The International Tourism Safety Association (ITSA) will return to Sin City next month, thanks to the joint efforts of Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVPD) and the Las Vegas Security Chiefs Association (LVSCA). The city will host the 23rd International Tourism Safety Conference at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, 10-13 April.
The conference gathers safety and security officials from the global travel and tourism industry and focuses on providing delegates with information, trends, equipment, strategies and best practices in keeping visitors safe.
Ray Suppe, president of the ITSA and executive director of customer safety, LVCVA, said: “The safety and security of visitors and residents is a top priority for any destination’s tourism industry, so it’s imperative to be aware of the current trends and information. For more than two decades, Las Vegas has proudly hosted this important conference where tourism security officials can come together to learn, grow and develop professionally.”
Conference presentations will address such issues as violence prevention during celebratory events, nightclub security, security challenges in the Asia Pacific region, personal data circulation, and crisis management during catastrophic events.
A Tourism Orientated Policing and Protective Services (TOPPS) certification course will also be offered during the conference.
