Dear Boss, (an open letter from your star DMO employee)

It's been a tough year so far. While we celebrate all of the good we are doing for our destination, the awards, the support of stakeholders, the the travelers, there's a catch. It's a lot. A lot, lot.

With the introduction of new AI technologies, a surge in diverse types of travelers, and an avalanche of new tools and data in the tourism industry, it's safe to say we've had our hands full.

And let's get real. The world is changing every week. I love my job. I love the tourism industry, I love learning and seeing my friends at industry events, I love developing our community for the future.

I don't love burnout.

And I was thinking to myself, what if there were a retreat that would address all aspects of my development and renewal? Hear me out.

I’ve found the ultimate event called the Travel + Transformation Think Tank and Retreat. My friends at Destination Innovate are producing the event, and there are only 20 spots available.

The basis of this retreat is to allow for transformation through a focus on ideation. Though experts in each subject will be available during the various workshops and sessions, I and the other participants will lead the conversation. Allowing us to learn from each other as opposed to a talking head telling us what we need to know.

Here’s why sending me is a no-brainer:

• Tailored Experience: They’re rolling out the red carpet with a customized agenda just for me. It’s like getting a personal growth concierge.

• Collaborative Innovation: Think tank sessions with other brilliant minds to solve the tourism world’s biggest mysteries. Maybe I’ll invent the next big thing – or at least come back with some wild ideas!

• Holistic Growth: Wellness activities galore. Mindfulness, vision questing and even stargazing that’ll make my Instagram followers jealous.

By sending me to this retreat, I’ll return with actionable strategies, a renewed sense of purpose, and valuable industry connections. Plus, I’ll probably have some epic stories and maybe even a new meditation pose or two.

This retreat is the golden ticket for my development and our team’s success. Let’s chat about this and make it happen – I promise to bring back wisdom, energy, and maybe even a quirky souvenir.

Check out the deck and let's apply!

P.S. If you ARE the boss, we'd also love to have you.

xo,

Jenn
