Want to divine the future of Destination Marketing and Sales? Look no further than this sensational compilation of visionary thought from Destinations International's 2022 30 Under 30 Class in SmartMeetings.
Among our favorites:
"I’m looking forward to having less cookie-cutter events in the future and more experiences that are by and of the community that is hosting them.” - Tyler Cole, Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo Economic Development and Tourism.
"It is wonderful to see more and more meetings going in a sustainable direction. Knowing people care about our environment and our planet is very comforting.” - Amy Shen, Destination Toronto
“Give-back programs at meetings and events are the future. Having purposeful experiences at conferences for attendees is something that I enjoy. Attendees are interested in having an opportunity for a hands-on eco-tourism experience to give back to the host destination. Seeing those experiences on conference schedules allows for breaks and the ability to do something good for the community attendees are visiting.” - April Brown, South Padre Island Convention & Visitors Bureau
For those of us on the back nine...are we listening to the future leaders of our industry?
