Welcome to New York City!



Dear Visitor:

Welcome to New York City. The Receptive Services Association of America (RSAA) is pleased to present this guidebook to help make your visit as interesting and enjoyable as possible. RSAA is a professional trade organization whose receptive operator members consist of wholesale travel companies that organize travel packages for international visitors. Our membership also includes a wide variety of suppliers such as hotel companies, transportation providers, attractions, restaurants, museums, sightseeing operators, tourism promotion agencies, and many others from all segments of the travel industry.

RSAA receptive operators typically work directly with the international travel trade and there’s a good chance that the travel package you purchased from your local travel agency or tour operator was organized by an RSAA receptive operator member. Since RSAA receptive operators are primarily “trade only” and work “behind the scenes” to plan your trips, you may not be familiar with their names. However, the next time you’re considering a package to New York or another destination in North America, you may want to ask your local travel agent or tour operator if they work with RSAA receptive operators to help organize your trip. Here are some reasons:

• RSAA members have comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of North American destinations, eventually providing you with local, personal familiarity about the most popular places to visit.
• RSAA members utilize reliable, professional transportation companies, hotels, restaurants, attractions, and other suppliers to help ensure a successful travel experience for you.
• RSAA members are local, with staff ready to handle emergencies and resolve issues.
• Because RSAA receptive operators arrange services for more than four-and-a-half million international visitors each year, they are in a strong position to negotiate rates with suppliers to provide you with the best possible values.
• RSAA is involved in a wide range of industry activities. The focus is on working with suppliers, regulatory agencies, and travel promotion bureaus to improve the quality of travel-related services for international visitors.
• RSAA addresses economic and public policy issues affecting tourism at local, state and federal levels.

We wish you a pleasant visit and look forward to the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Sincerely,
Receptive Services Association of America
