About International Roundup
International Roundup (IRU) is an exclusive annual tourism tradeshow event designed for suppliers and buyers focused on tourism in the The Great American West region.
The event consists of two days of intensive pre-scheduled business appointments where every regional organization and every international tour operator/buyer are guaranteed to meet. This unique B2B event gives suppliers looking to increase international visitation the opportunity to conduct business with international buyers who are looking to add regional product to their list of offerings to their clients.
The business negotiations that take place at the IRU event contribute to the estimated generation of more than $117 million* in future travel to the five-state region of Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
*Based on RMI‘s FY19 TRIP Report data
