One of the many things we watch for in destinations is what we call flashpoint politics or events. Largely an event that takes place within a destination, largely outside of the control of the destination organization but yet, leaves the destination organization remaining to pick up the pieces. One of the largest events we have seen in the history of our sector is what occurred in the summer of 2017 in Charlottesville Va. Now, today is not for a retelling of those events but to really talk about the story since then and the incredible work that has been done by Courtney and her team.  Destinations International Events The Architects of Destination Advocacy Podcast is a part of the Destination Marketing Podcast Network.
