The CVB Marketing Communications team worked with the Cavalier PR team on an opportunity with Thrillist (UVPM: 6M) around an urban renewal story which ran this week. In the article “8 AMERICAN CITIES GETTING BIG, EXCITING URBAN OVERHAULS THIS YEAR”, Virginia Beach was featured alongside other destinations such as Baton Rouge, Long Beach, Orlando, Columbia, SC, and St. Louis. CVB shared potential plans to redevelop the dome site and that there may be other developments in the area, however, the journalist pulled public information from stories that were already live on The Virginian Pilot. It’s a great story that ends with “Look for Virginia Beach within a few years to be considered a primo American beach destination, a jewel on one of the country’s most underrated stretches of coast.”
Also this week our coastal city made Travelpulse’s list of The 25 Best Beaches in the U.S., joining other beach destinations found in Florida, California and Hawaii, among others.
