Visit Corpus Christi

Last month, our Destination Sales & Services team was able to showcase #CorpusChristi at the Texas Society of Association Executives (TSAE) New Ideas Conference in The Woodlands, TX. 🏝️☀️ Visit Corpus Christi sponsored a "cooler" activation in the Experience Hall, where attendees could coast in and taste the flavors of the #GulfCoastCapital with a signature agua fresca. Attendees could even snag a Corpus Christi patch to sport on their tote bags. 🧊🥂👜 We loved getting to share #CorpusChristi at TSAE and can't wait to keep showing off our coastal destination! 🏝️🐚 #TSAE #MeetingPlanners #DestinationSales 

A few weeks ago Rebekah Everhart attended the Small Market Meetings Conference in St. George, UT. This was the first time Visit Corpus Christi has participated in this tradeshow, representing meeting planners looking for destinations that can host small to medium conferences, and everything in between. Rebekah participated in over 25 scheduled meetings with planners from across the country and as a result, returned with six RFPs worth an estimated 580 room nights and an estimated economic impact of $168,512. 👏 We can't wait to host these conferences in the #GulfCoastCapital! Way to go Rebekah! 🏝️☀️ #MeetCorpusChristi #SMMC2024 #MeetingPlanners
