Today has been a wonderful day spent at SDTA’s 2021 Hospitality Open. Thank you to all our members and partners who gathered for this friendly competition — another successful event on the road to recovery.

Last week, I attended a MillennialsinTravel event and was delighted to meet so many young #travel professionals making their way back to our industry. The future of our industry is bright!

Cheers to Karl Strauss Brewing Company CEO & co-founder Chris Cramer for sharing the history of craft beer in San Diego. Chris highlighted how the industry's collaborative spirit sets it apart and helped lead local brewers to produce some of the world's best craft beers.

Still celebrating the success of last week's Hospitality Open! Take a look at all the fun that transpired at Maderas Golf Club. A big thank you to all who attended, and to our sponsors for making the day possible. lnkd.in/gfZqg8r5

Swoop there it is. It was a thrill to welcome FlySwoop, a Canadian-based ultra-low-cost carrier, for its first nonstop flight from Edmonton International Airport to San Diego International Airport yesterday.

Today is San Diego Tourism's 67th Annual Meeting and my first as president & CEO. We'll discuss our industry's recovery & celebrate the retirement of SDTA's Margie Sitton. Hope to see you there.

It's been a long and difficult wait, but I'm so gratified that as of today, vaccinated international travelers are free to visit our country and region once again. This includes travel across our border with Mexico, which is so important to our region. Welcome back to San Diego!

From combating COVID-19 to rebuilding San Diego’s economy, Mayor Todd Gloria shares with the SDTA why the destination continues to be one of the best places to hold meetings and conventions and why tourism is so important to the region's ongoing recovery. bit.ly/3BlkbOD

A big welcome to our new Members! What I said here bears repeating: When we grow the number of diverse businesses, we are helping to ensure the local tourism recovery is equitable for everyone -- and that is a win-win for our residents and our visitors.

Such great news for San Diego! We're proud to be chosen as the host city for the World Lacrosse 2023 men's championship, and excited to show why San Diego is the ideal destination for major sporting events and so much more.

We're joining thousands of travel organizations today to celebrate National #PlanforVacation Day. Make a point of planning your time off for this year — whether it be a staycation, exploring California or just some "me" time. You deserve it, you earned it and you should take it!

Sports are a critical component of our local tourism industry, attracting more visitors while cementing San Diego’s reputation for health and wellness, and the creation of Sports San Diego will help us up our game as we work together to grow this market. #SanDiegoTourism

Thank you to U.S. Travel and Deputy Secretary Don Graves for bringing us together. These are critical issues to our industry's full and inclusive recovery.

Love to celebrate #GMID22! Nothing can replace the value and collaboration of meeting face-to-face. San Diego is open and ready for your meetings and events!

The San Diego County Lodging Association recently held their annual Gold Key awards to recognize the best of the best in our industry. SDTA's very own Brian Hilemon won the Allied Member of the Year Award! Congratulations Brian on this well deserved honor. #SanDiegoTourism
