Tempest

Here’s to the brilliant women behind the work. ?? We’re lucky to have an incredible group of women on the Tempest team — and we’re grateful for all the ways they lead, support, and inspire. #WomensHistoryMonth #DestinationMarketing #TravelAndTourism

Yesterday, we welcomed team members from across the United States, Canada, and the U.K. to Philadelphia for our second annual Tempest Team Day — a special opportunity for our hybrid workforce to collaborate, share ideas, and strengthen connections in person. ?? The day included an address from Alex Heimann, who shared insights into the evolving industry landscape and Tempest’s roadmap for the future. We also celebrated our team with the second annual Tempest Awards, recognizing those who exemplify our core values: Teamwork, Empathy, Modesty, People, Excellence, Stability, and Trust. Other standout moments included a citywide scavenger hunt through Philadelphia and a 90s-themed murder mystery — complete with unexpected twists, plenty of drama, and, of course, Beanie Babies. ?? We’re grateful for the opportunity to come together, reflect on our shared success, and continue collaborating on meaningful solutions that support our destination partners. ??

Today, Tempest proudly joins Destinations International and destination organizations worldwide in celebrating the first-ever #DestinationProfessionalsDay! ?? We’re shining a light on the dedicated destination professionals who work tirelessly to drive community growth through travel, tourism, and destination stewardship. Their passion and dedication create a lasting impact, and we’re honored to partner with hundreds of destination organizations across North America to support these community advocates in achieving their goals. Through The Destination Effect, a joint initiative of Destinations International and Tempest, we’ve had the privilege of showcasing inspiring stories of how these professionals are enriching their communities.
