Travel Partners

Reach the Group Leaders who book the trips.

Membership built for destinations, suppliers, and vendors who want to do real business with group travel decision-makers.

Our Group Leaders aren't shopping. They're planning. They come to Heritage Clubs to build trusted relationships with partners they'll work with for years, not transactions they'll forget by Tuesday.

💲 Annual Membership $350 per year
📅 Membership Year Oct 1 – Sep 30
👥 Open To Destinations, Suppliers and Attractions
Travel Partners networking at Peer Group
A Different Kind of Network

Not a trade show. A family reunion.

Heritage Clubs Group Leaders aren't competing with each other. That means the room you walk into at Peer Group is friendlier, more open, and more conversational than any trade floor you've ever worked.

Our attendees come back year after year. They remember who showed up for them. They reward the partners who invest in real relationships, and your business will grow because of it.

Our Group Leaders are friendly and casual at the conference, but they're there to do business. Your success here depends on building trust… and trust pays off.
