The New York Times announced Thursday that the 2018 New York Times Travel Show will take place January 26-28, 2018 inside New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center.
The 2018 iteration will kick off with a trade day open solely to travel industry professionals and writers. The general public will be invited to attend beginning Friday, Jan. 26 and through the weekend.
