We have never marketed this segment, why should we now?

If you are looking for additional clients, then the cost of this trade show is a minor part of your overall marketing plans. Even if you were to simply get advertising value, or perhaps a couple of new clients, then it is well worth the expenses.

We operate in more than one province. Where would we be placed?

Your booth will be placed in the area of your home office. If you operate on a national basis, you will be in the National hall. You also can take more than one booth and be located in the aisle where other province booths are in one general area.

Would I be considered a tour operator or receptive operator?

If you are operating your own tours then you are a tour operator. If you are booking clients on other operator tours then you would be classified as a Receptive Operator. But you could be both, and then you may want to consider two booths, one on each floor.
