MCAA’s Industry Tour to Italy is quickly filling up and only a few spots remain! Act now to lock in your room!

Our industry is rich in history, a history that dates back centuries. MCAA is offering our members a very unique opportunity to travel to Italy and study our history in some of the world’s most beautiful historical structures.

We are holding 39 rooms for this trip based on double occupancy and they are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Only a few rooms remain! The costs are outlined in the enclosed information. Unfortunately, the time frame that we are looking to travel to Italy is a very busy time and the hotels are requiring us to provide a deposit of $520.00 per person for the reservations (a 10% deposit). The price is based on 75 attendees.

The MCAA will collect deposits and provide the group deposit. Please complete the Tour Request Form and deposit payment made payable to the MCAA and return it as soon as possible to hold your reservation for the Italy Tour.

Please call our office at 800-536-2225 with any questions.
