Association Alliance uses Destination Nexus for its pivotal association software tools which are presently under development. This allows your association to market to potential members within Destination Nexus, an encyclopedia of over 15,000 U.S. destinations where every business is listed, unlike a directory where only those that pay are listed. Destination Nexus has over 15,000 U.S. inns. Your association members also have access to their listing within Destination Nexus as well as the vendor Marketplace, member generated forums, upcoming association events and important industry articles.
