Today, we took a big step forward in shaping the future of tourism in Newport News! After being accepted into the Drive Tourism + Grant program with the Virginia Tourism Corporation, we attended a workshop led by Laura Messer to dive into the grant details, target audience insights, and competition analysis. We were able to collaborate with stakeholders from across the city, including The Mariners' Museum and Park, Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA), Virginia Living Museum, the Newport News Marriott at City Center, NEWPORT NEWS PUBLIC ART FOUNDATION, Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center, City on My Chest, and more. The room was buzzing with great discussion and creative ideas, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together. 2025 is already looking bright! A big thank you to VTC for hosting and facilitating such an insightful session. #VisitNewportNews #TourismInnovation #CollaborationInAction #VisitNN #LoveNN #Travel
