Connect Sports FAM Dolphin Watching Trip
The Connect Sports FAM with some of our Sports Marketing Team went on a dolphin watching expedition yesterday. The weather wasn’t great, but the trip was still a great time. They saw a number of dolphins swimming around the boat at the north end. The guide even pointed out a new baby dolphin, the first she had seen this season. Thanks to Courtney Dyer for the great photo!
CVC East Opens at VBCC
CVC East, a veterinarian trade show, opened today at VBCC. The M&C Team answered the call less than a year ago with a short notice site tour for a Sunday afternoon. To quote our client, “I really liked the feel of the Virginia Beach team and trusted that they would treat our guests well.” Compared to last weekend, VBCC is like a library. Even with the people here, you could hear a pin drop. Very quiet. Look for the motor coaches as the services team shuttles registrants to and from local hotels. Good news! The client gave us the green light on 2017. They’re coming back.

NATIONAL TRAVEL AND TOURISM WEEK DAY 5 – Norfolk International Airport
With the Norfolk International Airport celebrating Thank a Visitor Day, CVB’ers joined in the effort with other cities in the Coastal Virginia Region, and also thanked many of those who work so hard to give our visitors a great experience upon arrival and departure. They are the first thing many of our our visitors see upon arriving and the last thing they see before returning home, and they are definitely a part of the bigger picture of tourism in Virginia Beach. #NTTW16 #picturetourism.
Thanks to Liz, Lisa, Shantese, Scott and Jane for coming out and helping to make today the awesome day that it was!!
