WELCOME &SPECIAL COVID-19 NOTES BELOW!
                                      Dear Exhibitor:

                                      Welcome to the start of the 28th year for Peninsula round table dinner presentations. In
                                      the majority of cities, these functions will begin with a one hour pre-show seminar
                                      commencing at 5:00 P.M. followed by a ½ hour trade show/reception and a 5 minute
                                      “sales call” by each exhibitor at round tables of 6-8 travel advisors. Dinner will then be
                                      served AFTER AND NOT DURING the round table presentations.

                                      After the events of this past year, we are all anxious to get back to work and it is imperative
                                      that we provide a quality product that offers optimum value and a competitive rate
                                      structure. We have made every effort to provide you, our customer, with qualified travel
                                      advisor attendees in superior function sites. We are confident that you will find your
                                      participation to be a productive and enjoyable experience.

                                      This manual is designed to facilitate your shipping and travel arrangements. Should you
                                      have any questions that are not covered in the following pages, please do not hesitate to

Brochures & Displays

ATTENDANCE       Our Presentations are designed to host a maximum of 80-90 retail travel agents. However, we sometimes
                 visit cities where we can expect between 50-60 advisors in attendance. Therefore, it is not necessary to
                 ship an extraordinary amount of material. Please note that we will not have the facility to carry any
                 excess literature to the proceeding city/cities.

EXHIBIT          As a “tabletop show”, there will not be sufficient space for displays, banners, posters, that would
FURNISHINGS      normally be used in a standard 10’x10’ booth set-up. You are more than welcome to bring displays or
                 banners provided they can be displayed on, or behind, a 6’ table. Should you wish to use a display that
                 does not conform to these conditions, please call us and we will do all possible to accommodate you.
                 Please note that each exhibitor will be provided with a 6”x14” tabletop sign.

SHOW FORMAT /
DAILY SCHEDULE   4:00-6:00 p.m. EXHIBITOR SET-UP / PRE-SHOW SEMINARS: Additionally, in most cities, there will be
                 pre-show seminars conducted during the 5:00-6:00 p.m. hour.

                 4:00–5:00 and 5:00-6:00 p.m. PRE-SHOW SEMINARS

                 6:00-6:30 p.m. RECEPTION/TRADE SHOW: Agents and exhibitors exchange greetings and review
                 literature while refreshments are served.

                 6:30-8:00 p.m. PRESENTATIONS: 5-6 minute individual presentations to groups of 6-8 agents. There will
                 be sufficient “breaks” during this period to rest your vocal cords.

                 8:00-9:00 p.m. DOOR PRIZES / DINNER: Complete the evening with either a sit-down dinner or a buffet.
                 Door prizes will be awarded prior to the serving of dinner (see Page 9).

                                                                                                                Page 3
Shipping Instructions

DELIVERY DATES   With the majority of hotels unable, or unwilling, to hold material in their package rooms for an
                 extended period of time, plan on having your material arrive at the hotel no sooner than
                 (3) days prior to the show date IMPORTANT NOTE: We suggest that you call each
                 facility to reconfirm receipt of your shipment.

LABELS           Shipping labels for the material that you may be sending will only be sent to you upon request,
                 as most companies either bring their own material to the show or use a mail house.

SUPPLIES         With our round table format, you will not have a need for a great deal of supplies since literature
                 distribution will be minimal. We will have rubber bands, paper clips, pins, tape, marking pens,
                 etc. available to you should you require them. Each attending travel agent will also be provided
                 with pad/paper and pen/pencil for note taking during your sales presentation.

Miscellaneous

DOOR PRIZES     To add to the evening’s enjoyment, you should consider offering a door prize that would be
                drawn just after conclusion of the round table presentations and prior to the serving of dinner.
                This will provide you an opportunity to get in a few more words about your company.

BOOTH / TABLE   Please limit your personnel to a maximum of two for dinner while keeping in mind that the
STAFFING        format of these Presentations does not allow for any more than this number of people to
                effectively present your product at individual round tables.

                                                                                              Page 9
