We welcome this step since it is expected to provide a better insight into the support the #industry needs. “Peer cities competing with Dallas for economic development, talent attraction, and cultural tourism know that the safety and vibrancy of their nighttime economy are key to their success in attracting businesses, residents, and conventions,” said Craig Davis, CDME, President and CEO of Visit Dallas. Ensuring the #safety and #security of #patrons and #businesses within this ecosystem is paramount, and we're committed to providing innovative solutions that contribute to a safer nightlife experience for all. Let's continue working together to promote a thriving and safe nighttime economy. The findings of the survey will be presented at the Responsible Hospitality Institute’s Sociable City Summit April 18-20, 2024.
