Visit NC 365 Conference CANCELED
Visit NC 365 Conference CANCELED due to Governor and NCDHHS's recommendation regarding COVID-19
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the Governor have recommended that public gatherings or events of more than 100 people be canceled or rescheduled. As such, the Visit NC 365 Conference in Asheville, which had been scheduled for March 22-24, has been canceled. As an alternative, the major elements of the conference will be provided to partners online during the same timeframe as the conference.
Through April we are hosting a series of webinar programs that provide updates on the status of the industry, share timely consumer research insights, highlight crisis response efforts and recovery plans, share best practices in PR and social media, and introduce our co-op marketing program.
2020 Webinars
Watch: The Road to Recovery
Originally streamed: Wednesday, May 20, 2020
Visit NC provides an update on the current travel mindset, the new Count On Me NC program and the state's upcoming tourism recovery marketing campaign. Research is currently underway as well as creative exploration and media planning that aligns with evolving traveler sentiment, behaviors and trends. Visit NC is taking a three-pronged approach to determine how we will reenter the market based on:
- When it's allowed
- When it's safe
- When consumers are receptive to our message
The strategy includes conducting resident sentiment surveys, leveraging media and channels where travelers are engaged and poised to travel, and identifying opportunities where partners can engage. Visit NC also provides an update on the ongoing progression of Cook It Forward NC.
