Incredible Accomplishments  

 
 
Travel South's twelve-state region took home several pieces of hardware in Arizona last month. At ESTO's Destiny & Mercury Awards, several bureaus were able to raise their fist in the air (literally!) and proclaim victory. Twenty-six U.S. Travel Association member organizations were honored for excellence and creative accomplishments in destination marketing with four of them stemming from the South. We are wowed by their ingenuity and accomplishments. Here is a list of recipients:
 
2018 Destiny Award Winners :
  • Printed Collateral Materials - Cabarrus County, N.C. Convention & Visitors Bureau
  • People's Choice - Cabarrus County, N.C. Convention & Visitors Bureau
