Yesterday, we hosted our 39th Annual Meeting. Our sold-out event at The Motor Enclave was a huge success! Tampa Bay’s momentum is propelling us to new heights —fueling economic growth, supporting over 59,000 tourism jobs.   Thank you to our fantastic partners who brought the thrill: Aerial Dragons Studio, whose performance was on fire (literally), the Urias Family for their Globe of Thrills performance and so many more!   A huge shoutout to our co-presenting sponsors The Motor Enclave and Puff 'n Stuff Catering and Events for shifting this event into full gear. We could not have done it without you!   We look forward to another incredible year for our community and will continue to inspire the world to love Tampa Bay! #unlocktampabay

What a blessing to work with such talented panels! Thank you to JoLynn Lokey, Bob Morrison, Jr. , Stanley Rubins and Davis Meyer, CDME. Each of these individuals has taken advocacy to a new level. I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. Thank you to Jack Johnson and Destinations International for organizing an informative and entertaining Advocacy Summit!

The Home Care and Hospice Conference and Expo, hosted by the National Alliance for Care at Home October 20-22, was the first post-Milton convention in Tampa Bay and went off without a hitch, demonstrating how the region is fully operational with a tourism infrastructure unaffected by the storm. Here, NACH Director of Communications Tom Threlkeld talks about the success of the convention, the positive feedback from convention-goers, and the beauty of the Tampa Convention Center and Tampa Bay. “You could not have asked for a better experience. You would never know anything happened here.” #unlocktampabay #meetingsmatter

Tampa Bay is open and ready for your next adventure! Our team hit the road, bringing the vibrant spirit of Tampa Bay to our key markets in Chicago and NYC (with Philly this weekend). From interactive experiences to capturing the laid-back vibes of our waterfront views, we're reminding everyone that our destination is open and ready to welcome visitors! #unlocktampabay

Our September Business by the Bay was through the roof thanks to all our partners who networked with us on the rooftop at Union New American with Next Level Brands Hospitality. Guests had a blast playing bingo as an icebreaker, catching up with old friends while making new ones, and winning exciting raffle prizes from Hampton Chocolate Factory, Rusty Pelican - Tampa, Toffee to Go, and the ReliaQuest Bowl. Union New American was a great host, providing delectable bites, incredible drinks, and a sushi demonstration for all to enjoy! #unlocktampabay #businessbythebay

We are constantly striving to make our destination more accessible. It's a privilege to share this resource with our industry partners and extend our knowledge. We’re grateful our President and CEO has been such a great advocate for these initiatives.

Another incredible Keys to Success! Thank you to The CURRENT Hotel for hosting us in such a stunning setting with beautiful views of Tampa Bay. Your hospitality made our event truly special! Also, a huge thank you to all our partners who joined us in supporting the Visit Tampa Bay team. From the strategic updates shared by our Leisure Sales, Destination Services, and Partnership teams to celebrating the start of fall with vendors and breakfast bites, it was a morning filled with collaboration and excitement for the future. #UnlockTampaBay #KeysToSuccess #FallInTampaBay
