GRA has been the most educational, motivational resource that I have found. The members are willing to share their experiences to help other members. In the end, this saves time and money for our company.

From day one of being a member of GRA I have benefited greatly. When we started our tour/store program here at Sweet Candy Co. in 2005, without GRA I would have been totally clueless. I have and continue to learn so much from GRA conferences and other members about safety, various tour problem solving, products for store sales, staffing problems and solutions, training.... The list goes on and on! Thank you GRA!

GRA offers a network of resources to call upon on so many issues and topics that face our operations daily. On many occasions, we have been able to collect data from other organizations to implement change in our tour program. GRA is one of the best resources available to me to help manage my business!

GRA membership is a battery charger! It reminds me that I am not
alone with my challenges, whether it be tour or gift shop. GRA members
are intelligent, witty, caring and sharing individuals. I am truly
connected all over the USA, any day, any time.

The GRA is the most efficient way to access professionals in this
unique area. Fast way to get questions answered and problems solved.

The GRA gives me an international network of experts in tour
programs and guest elations. The benchmarking opportunities available
at every annual conference are invaluable.

I learn something new every year. We are implementing an audio
program I heard about in a GRA presentation. Celebrating our 30th year,
I'm planning graphics (similar to what) I saw at Coca-Cola and History
Displays @ Coors.
