"I think the one thing we should do as destination leaders is throw out the concept that we're tourism leaders. The more we talk about ourselves as tourism entities and we think about everything from a tourism perspective, it limits us. If we pull back the lens and say what does my community need, what do my residents need, and how can my role in bringing in visitors or generating visitation serve that need?" -Kristen Jarnigan on the importance of expanding beyond the tourism industry as a destination marketer
