Where We've Been

Robert Townsend and Mal Bevins, of University of Vermont Extension, initiated the first Vermont Travel Industry Conference (VTIC) in 1983. The purpose of that half-day session was to provide members of the tourism industry with information and research data available through the University. Seven years later, VTIC gained its non-profit status, becoming VTIC, Inc. In 2015, the Board of Directors voted to change the annual conference name to the Vermont Tourism Summit. ​(learn more)
