After attending several of your early recovery webinars in 2020, we immediately pivoted to build a Hyper-Local destination getaway package strategy. Our Stay & Play packages have successfully helped our lodging and tourism partners. We are in our third season of Packaging, it works! Thank you.

Due to the Covid crisis, ABA wanted to strategically prepare and position our partners who were struggling with the road to recovery. As a result we engaged Tourism Industry expert, Joe Veneto to create a customized webinar series for our members that delivered impactful, critical and relevant content. The programs were so successful and well attended that we plan to re-release the series in August.
