A representative from the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association (AzLTA) will be addressing City Council on the importance of National Tourism Week (NTW), as well as providing an update on how our state is performing overall. National Tourism Week is May 3-11, 2014. The Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) staff are kicking off NTW with a stakeholder breakfast on Monday, May 5th at the Flagstaff Visitor Center along with local advertisements in the Arizona Daily Sun that share the economic impacts of tourism on our local economy and how it fosters a better quality of life for our community. We will have radio and social media outreach days where staff will go on air to talk about NTW, and we are encouraging all stakeholders to participate on social media by using a customized hash tag on their sites as well as direct locals and visitors to our website: flagstaffarizona.org for more information.
