CVB Annual Meeting Honorees and Winter Tourism on LIVE
Friday, November 09, 2018
Christine Phillips from the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau joined GoLocal LIVE’s Chelsea Guay to discuss the PWCVB accomplishments during the fiscal year 2018, which ran from July 2017 through June 2018 as well as discuss the 2018 Annual Meeting and ROSE awards, held on November 7th of this year.
There were certainly many points of discussion at this years meeting, with eight hotel projects in development, a resurgent airport and a fiscal year-end occupancy of 74.2% in Providence, however, attendees were most excited by the 24 frontline tourism employees honored with ROSE (Recognition of Service Excellence) Awards, citing their outstanding service and dedication.
The event also awarded individuals and businesses cited for special achievements including The Roger Williams Park Zoo, named the organization’s “Partner of the Year,” Leonard Panaggio, honored with a Special Recognition Award for his role in developing the PWCVB during its early years and Mark Cooke, honored with the Sports Champion Award.
Much of the discussion on GoLocal LIVE - WATCH ABOVE - was about the CVB as a whole, details surrounding the vast expansion of hotels in the Providence area as well as conversation surrounding events and winter tourism throughout the state.
