RTO Summit West was founded in 2003 to help suppliers and destinations meet L.A.-based RTOs without having to navigate the Los Angeles freeway system. It is now our largest RTO event attracting over 100 receptive operators in 2017, 40 percent of which were Chinese RTOs. Since LAX serves as the primary gateway from Asia, nearly all Japanese and Chinese operators are headquartered here, as well as European-based RTOs who service and operator National Park and Western programs.
