Destinations are in search of EDI programs that are tangible, effective and meet organizational goals. The San Diego Tourism Authority (SDTA) will share details on their new Diversity Accelerator program that drew over 50 applicants, grew membership, gained new corporate sponsors and extensive media coverage, and garnered widespread support from diverse community groups and elected officials. The SDTA will share how their program came to be and hand you the tools to launch a similar version in your destination to advance your EDI advocacy and revenue goals.

Destination Strategic Planning — we’ve all been there at some point. Meeting with stakeholders, sifting through data, compiling reports, to ultimately end up with a fantastic plan for your destination…that fizzles out in a year. We have figured out how to help you stay the course and keep your plan off the shelf. Join us as we illustrate real-life examples, best practices and step-by-step processes on how to leverage your existing CRM software to help you manage the implementation of your strategic plan to achieve the expected and planned-for results.

For the first time in almost three years, a post-pandemic life is beginning to feel within reach.

​Join us and our partners at Tourism Economics on Wednesday, May 18 at 11:00am Eastern for a thorough overview of the Event Impact Calculator. See what all the talk is about, refresh your knowledge and understanding, and get all your questions answered.

As the world recovers from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting slowdown of global travel and business events, destination leaders have had a rare opportunity to reflect on the impact of our industry on our communities—and a chance to rebuild in a way that is mindful, strategic, collaborative, and intentional. Join Jane Cunningham, Andreas Weissenborn and the team at Oxford Economics to hear about the Event Impact Calculator (EIC). Celebrating ten years, the Event Impact Calculator measures the economic value of an event and calculates its return on investment to local taxes. Armed with this information, destination organisations are better prepared to tell the story of their destination through data and make the case to policymakers and stakeholders for the ongoing development and growth of the events and meetings sectors.

Join us as Andreas Weissenborn and Chris George as they share how the Event Impact Calculator (EIC) can help your organization calculate the value of events to your destination. This live demonstration of the EIC from within the Simpleview platform will help you understand how the tool works and covers all four modules: Meetings, Sports, Festivals, and Local & Public Events (LPE).

This session will provide a deep dive into how our newest tool will provide destinations with the capability to create intentional EDI goals and track progress in the workplace, within the community for residents and visitors, through data driven metrics. Our team will demonstrate how to use this platform, share the features of the various reporting tiers, and use case studies to highlight how destinations are weaving inclusive practices into their business plans.

In this webinar we will show you how to gain access to all the tools and resources Destinations International has to offer and maximize your membership investment.
