It is hard to believe just a few short days ago we were all enjoying our time in Myrtle Beach - networking, sharing, laughing - and bringing in more travel business into the South! More than 700 delegates made the show what it is today - successful.
Enough cannot be said for the gracious Southern welcome provided by Myrtle Beach CVB, South Carolina Parks, Recreation and Tourism and all of the respective partners and sponsors.
Make plans to join us in Baton Rouge, La. March 8-11, 2020.

Percolating Partnership
Starbucks and the U.S. Civil Rights Trail (USCRT) have developed a novel way to increase recognition of Civil Rights monuments. Starbucks, which reached out to the USCRT, is now distributing Civil Rights Trail maps to its customers. The stores are located near Civil Rights Trail monuments or in specially designated community stores across the United States. Those stores include Long Beach, Miami Gardens, Ferguson, Baltimore, Dallas, Chicago, Seattle, Phoenix, Jamaica Queens, NY, Brooklyn, Trenton and Birmingham. We believe that tourism in these communities will get a nice boost from these maps; we so appreciate Starbucks for this fresh approach in educating its customers about Civil Rights history.
