Nominate A Tourism Superstar Today!
Virginia Beach, Va. (February 7, 2017) – This year’s National Travel and Tourism Week (May 3 – 12) will feature “Faces of Travel” and shine a spotlight on the power of travel by recognizing the millions of people nationwide who keep the hospitality industry strong. To join in this national celebration, the Virginia Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), along with tourism industry partners, will honor the “best of the best” in the Virginia Beach hospitality industry during an awards luncheon* on Friday, May 12, at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
Led by a workforce of nearly 13,000 dedicated individuals, Virginia Beach achieved a record $1.4 billion in tourism revenue in 2015, making the travel and tourism industry one of the city’s largest economic generators. The 2017 Travel & Tourism Awards luncheon will be a celebration of our dedicated hospitality professionals who help host the more than 13 million annual visitors who select Virginia Beach as their destination of choice.
Awards will be presented in more than 30 industry-related categories. Do you know a server who goes the extra mile with a smile? How about that valet who never fails to say “Have a nice day!” or the maintenance worker who can be counted on 24/7/365? These are the “Faces of Travel” we’re looking to honor, so log on to www.vbgov.com/NTTW today to check out the categories and nominate someone who makes a difference in the Virginia Beach tourism industry – it’s absolutely free!
Nominations are open through March 6, 2017. For more information, please contact Brande Rumpf at brumpf@visitvirginiabeach.com.
