A VIEW FROM THE TOP
ANNUAL REPORT ON
CVB HEADS
As
t h e
travel
a n d
meetings market responds to world events
and an ever-evolving economy, we feel it prudent
to pause from time to time to assess what impact all
these occurrences are having on our industry. As we do each
year, we put several questions to some of the top CVB heads in the
industry in the last quarter of 2021 in an effort to share their knowledge with
those seeking solutions to the daunting challenges faced by many destination
reps and planners. Below are the five questions, followed by their answers in their own
words.
1.How Has Covid-19 Pandemic impacted travel, tourism & meetings in your city?
2. What are some of things you've done to weather the storm until travel returns?
3. What is your strategy for resuming meetings in and travel to your city?
4. What steps are you taking to ensure the safety of visitors to your city?
5. With so many options from which travelers can choose, why should a planner or travel
agent select your destination to book their meeting, incentive or leisure travel business?
