Record breaking numbers like those described in Governor Cuomo's release and Ross's note (see below) are immensely gratifying and exciting for all of us. Hard work and dedication pay off! And we are blessed to have state leadership that recognizes the value of tourism to all New Yorkers and partners so well with our industry.

However, numbers like this also raise the bar higher for future growth and success. How fortunate that this year NYSTIA's Annual Meeting will include the opportunity to address your marketing plans for success in 2020. We will feature our first member-to-member meetings where you can discuss 2020 Co-Opportunities with the marketing and media companies that are offering them. Bring your questions and explore all the opportunities to proactively shape your future success in 2020. Read more about the member-to-member sessions HERE.

Please join us for the 2019 NYSTIA Annual Meeting & Tourism Excellence Awards September 26 and 27 in beautiful Cayuga County at the Holiday Inn in Auburn. Great programming, great people and great work will all be featured and celebrated with amazing local foods, craft beverages and, as always, your NYSTIA friends and colleagues!
