When the CVB was invited to participate in a press conference in the lead up to the Memorial Day weekend, the PR Unit jumped at the chance to highlight our city as THE beach destination of choice for this huge travel weekend. In addition to sharing details about several major events scheduled across the city, Teresa Diaz, with the Communications Team, took the opportunity to announce the fantastic news that MSN.com ranked Virginia Beach at the top of the list for “Best Beach Destinations for Memorial Day Weekend.” Representatives from the AAA Richmond office, VDOT and the Virginia State Police shared safe driving tips and road construction/alternate route information during the press conference which took place at the New Kent Welcome Center early Wednesday morning and was covered by several Richmond news stations.
