WTT is proud to announce its membership in the Hosts Global Alliance, previously USA Hosts Alliance. Hosts Global Alliance announced four new members, Barefoot Holidays (St. Lucia), Congress Canada Welcome Travel Team (Southern France) and Ultimate Ventures (Dallas) on July 5, 2011.

Barefoot Holidays provides services ranging from soft adventure to sight-seeing to culture and heritage tours in St. Lucia. Barefoot Holidays was featured in CIT Magazine in October 2010 presenting a case study of a joint incentive trip for T-Mobile and Nokia.

Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Congress Canada has been a Destination Management Company representing Toronto and Niagara Falls since 1979 and has extensive experience in all market segments.

Ultimate Ventures merged with USA Hosts Dallas in May combining two prominent and well regarded DMCs in Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas.

Welcome Travel Team has been offering creative, efficient, and precise organization and scheduling to clients meeting in Monaco and Southern France for over 30 years.

"Our momentum continues and excitement fills our Alliance with tremendous pride for the caliber of DMCs that continue to join us and recognize the value that our consortium brings to clients and our industry worldwide. We are thrilled to announce Barefoot Holidays, Congress Canada, Ultimate Ventures and Welcome Travel Team as our newest members. They are all well known leaders in their destinations and strong forces…and now with HGA we know they make an already strong Alliance that much stronger!" says Hosts Global Alliance CEO, Jennifer Patino, DMCP.
