The Virginia Beach Hotel Association and the CVB have been collaboratively working on an agenda to host the Virginia Tourism Corporation Welcome Center Staff for a familiarization (FAM) tour in Virginia Beach May 1-3, 2016. The purpose of the visit is to educate the Welcome Center Staff about Virginia Beach. The Virginia Welcome Center staff promotes attractions, destinations, events, dining and lodging establishments statewide. FAM tours provide attendees with the extra details and personal experiences that are crucial to accurately and passionately promote Virginia Beach. Welcome Center staff speak to hundreds of thousands of DRIVE TOURISM visitors in their Welcome Centers every year, and have these visitors’ attention because they are already here and looking for things to do.
