Description
Convention and Visitors Bureau Comm Meeting 080620
A
A
A
We
we
were
planning
last
meeting.
We
mentioned
that
we
were
planning
a
soft
lunch
and
a
hard
lunch,
but
we
moved
everything
to
a
hard
lunch,
just
to
have
more
impact
and
have
better
use
of
other
resources
and
all
the
materials,
and
so
we've
been
working
as
a
team
to
get
all
the
elements
done,
and
that
includes
advertising
that
includes
from
the
branding
of
the
office.
Hopefully
soon.
You
also
join
us
here
at
cbb
and
you
can
see
the
the
rebranding
in
action.
A
It's
all
around
the
office,
and
so
we're
very
excited
about
that.
Also,
I
want
to
invite
everybody
to
listen
to
our
podcast.
We
have
lola,
we
are
in
our
third
episode
already
and
you
can
find
it
wherever
you
consume
your
podcast
and
it's
the
hola
la
level
podcast,
and
this
this
month
we
talked
about
shopping.
So
we
focused
on
shopping
on
san
bernardino,
on
downtown
the
different
options
that
we
have
boutiques.
I
mean
the
array
of
opportunities
that
we
have.
A
We're
really
excited
about
that.
Unfortunately,
that's
the
timing
with
the
pandemics,
but
hopefully
after
all
this
is
over
or
things
get
a
little
bit
more
stable
people
will
be
excited
to
travel
to
loretovia,
and
so
we
already
have
the
tickets
all
over,
don't
say
all
I
mentioned,
but
the
flight,
the
first
flight
is
appropriate.
B
B
A
A
A
D
D
D
That's
the
south
texas
signature,
boxing
association
and
with
usa
boxing.
We
were
gonna
host
a
tournament,
a
boxing
tournament,
first
national
boxing
tournament.
Here
in
naredo,
we
were
expecting
over
500
boxers
at
the
at
the
end
of
may
of
august
as
well,
but
due
to
so
many
changes
and
the
increase
in
number
of
cases
of
covet,
the
that
event
is
going
to
be
postponed
for
summer.
D
So
early
summer,
2021
by
it's
interesting
since
we
opened
the
registration
in
a
few
days,
we
had
already
gotten
people
from
oklahoma,
new
mexico,
georgia
from
those
states
that
were
interested
in
obviously
in
texas
as
well.
So
we
had
a
huge
interest
on
people
that
wanted
to
participate
but
youtube
due
to
the
pandemic
and
everything
you
know
we
had
to
postpone
the
event.
D
E
My
report-
well,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
on
on
how
going
by
the
sister
studies
online
that
we're
working
with
project
I'm
working
on,
we,
I
have
been
contacting
some
custom
brokers
to
do
the
obviously
to
bring
the
the
the
products
over.
We
are
working
at
least
the
first
phase
of
the
sister
studies
online
will
be
10
vendors.
That's
what
we're
looking
at
with
each
one,
having
an
estimate
of
about
five
products
as
well,
we're
also
working
on
the
cultural
side
of
this
online
shopping.
E
E
F
Good
morning,
everybody
I'm
here
to
report
that
it
looks
like
last
month
was
the
majority
of
my
time
taken
up
by
city
hall
and
the
public
information
office.
I
assisted
with
the
psas
that
were
filmed
partnered
up
with
joseo
and
you
can
currently
see
those
psas
locally
on
television,
radio,
digital
billboards,
isabel
sosa
eileen
and
arena
are
able
to
post
some
graphics
on
social
media.
F
There's
a
new
campaign
that
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
are
kicking
off,
which
is
hashtag,
mascot
laredo.
So
I'm
I'm
currently
soliciting
local
laredo
ambassadors.
You
know
people
that
can
influence
and
help
out
with
informing
the
public
on.
You
know
the
the
proper
use
of
a
mask,
and
you
know
we
wear
our
face-
mask
not
only
to
protect
ourselves
but
to
protect
those
around
us
and
those
that
we
care
about
and
currently
we've
got,
I
believe,
pita.
F
That
said,
he
would
participate
along
with
one
of
the
miss
you
that
laredo
has
had
the
one
that's
married
to
with
the
astros
daniela.
I'm
sorry-
and
you
know
I'm
reaching
out
to
sectors
as
well
and
in
regards
to
cbb
a
phase
that
we
moved
into
in
regards
to
media
buys
is
the
in
the
formal
introduction
and
the
meet
and
greet
of
a
relic
agency
taking
on
the
u.s
sales
representatives.
F
So
that's
been
going
really
well
they've
been
setting
up
meetings
and
getting
to
know
each
other,
and
hopefully
this
coming
fiscal
year.
Any
media
buys
will
be
run.
You
know
through
cbb,
you
know
for
for
our
reference
to
go
ahead
and
take
a
look
at,
but
they
will
be
executed
and
negotiated
between
relic
and
the
advertisers
directly
and
you
know
miss
you
guys
haven't
seen
anybody
ever
more
committed
in
a
long
time.
So,
if
y'all
have
any
questions
and
that's
my
report.
H
Hi
good
morning
well,
like
eileen,
said
and
selena
I'm
working
with
I'm
part
of
the
pio
team
communication
team.
Now
I'm
work,
I'm
I
post
all
the
social
media
posts
on
the
city
of
laredo
facebook
page
and
I'm
working
with
iti
and
adesa,
with
the
laredo
cvv
post
on
social
media
for
mexico,
we're
monitoring
the
the
the
bridge,
all
the
reactions
from
monetary
people
that
they
want
to
come
shopping.
They
said
we
when
we
really
want
to
go
shopping
to
lego.
H
We
really
miss
you
and
we
try
to
keep
this
message
that
we
are
we're
here.
We
are
miss
them
too,
and
hopefully
they're
ready
to
open
now,
but
that
help
is
priority
for
all.
So
wait
wait
for
from
us,
I'm
working
with
at
the
same
time
with
the
campaign
with
the
airport
for
the
social
media
and
looking
for
influencers.
Maybe
they
can
travel
on
december
or
later
depending
that
depends
on
the
on
the
health
and
energy.
I
Okay,
first
of
all,
good
morning
to
all
of
you
and
on
behalf
and
myself,
I
would
like
to
say
first
of
all
that
we
miss
you
a
lot
okay,
so
it's
been
a
while,
since
we
haven't
seen
you
or
or
talked
to
you.
So,
even
though
this
is
a
like
a
video
conference,
and
I
asked
for
myself,
I
feel
happy
to
see
you
all
again
and
to
know
that
you
are
very
that
you're
healthy
okay.
I
So
I
would
like
I
would
like
to
start
with
the
report
and
just
to
continue
from
what
reyna
already
said,
people
that
call
to
the
office
or
people
that
step
by
casa,
laredo-
and
I
mentioned
step
by
because
they
are
not
allowed
to
enter
yet
to
the
office.
But
they
just
you
know,
open
the
door
and
just
like
a
quick
question
and
they
we
can
see
from
the
the
most
important
or
the
can.
We
say
like
what
they
are
more
interested
is
in
winners.
I
The
breaches
are
going
to
open
because
they
want
to
go
back,
it
can
be
for
shopping
to
visit,
a
relative
or
even
because
they
have
a
they
have
something
to
do.
Like
to
deliver
a
permit
or
something
like
that,
but
people
is
very
interested
in
coming
back
to
laredo
for
different
reasons
and
there's
a
funny.
A
funny
thing
that
happened
to
me
like
a
month
ago,
yeah,
like
four
weeks
ago
or
five
weeks
ago,
I
was
driving
in
the
spark
and,
as
you
know,
this
park,
it's
it's
branded
with
laredo
logo.
I
Okay,
so
I
was
driving
back
home
and
then
there's
this
this
truck,
and
it
was
a
lady
who
made
some
signs
to
me
and
I
was
like
what's
going
on
and
she
was
telling
me
like
pull
over
so
I
pulled
over
and
because
it
was
a
it
was
a
woman
I
was
like.
Well,
I
don't
think
this
is
dangerous,
so
I
I
pulled
over
and-
and
she
was
like-
are
you
from?
Are
you
from
la
to
texas?
Do
you
work
for
for
larrydo
texas,
and
I
was
like
yes?
I
July
available
what
I
said
in
july,
the
20th
of
july,
and
she
was
like
okay,
I
I
really
want
the
bridges
to
be
open
again,
because
I
need
to
do
something
there.
I
don't
know
what
she
said.
I
can
recall
right
now,
but
even
though,
when
they
see
the
the
the
spark
or
when
they
see
the
logo
or
when
they
see
laredo,
you
can
see
the
interest
people
people
have
in
returning
to
to
laredo.
Okay,
that's
one
of
the
the
points
of
the
report.
I
So
we
can
share
information
or
ideas
or
to
make
a
plan,
and
once
these
restrictions
travel
restrictions
are
over.
Okay,
we're
also
following
up
on
events
that
were
already
scheduled
for
us,
and
some
of
them
have
been
cancelled
and
some
of
them
have
been
postponed
for
for
next
year
and
there
is
even
an
event
in
which
celine
and
myself
were
supposed
to
to
attend.
It
was
a
ibtm,
las
americas,
saying
this
event
was
postponed
to
next
year,
but
they're
offering
a
with
a
webinar
okay.
I
A
Okay,
thank
you,
sam
and
what's
happening
what
someone
mentioned.
We
have
several
events
for
our
meetings
for
sports
for
feature
that
have
been
postponed.
What
we
saw
at
the
beginning
of
their
situation
march
april
may.
A
lot
of
the
dates
that
we
had
for
october
through
december
were
still
on.
People
were
so
hopeful
that
things
were
gonna
get
better
and
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
have
conferences
and
tournaments,
and
all
that
and
as
the
summer
has
progressed,
we've
seen
more
and
more
either
events
being
postponed
or
cancelled.
A
Those
that
are
being
postponed
are
being
pushed
until
next
year,
which
means,
if
we
already
made
any
investment
they're,
either
giving
us
back
the
money,
but
in
most
cases
they're
just
pushing
our
registration
until
next
year.
If
we're?
Okay
with
that,
so
that's
that's
a
lot
of
what's
happening
as
well
mentioned.
We
had
tournaments
scheduled
for
for
the
end
of
the
summer
that
we
were
also
hoping
back
in
may
june.
A
Things
were
getting
a
little
bit
better,
but
with
the
surge
in
cases
during
july,
those
all
those
tournaments
were
definitely
cancelled
or
postponed
until
next
year.
So
we
we're
still
seeing
those
those
effects
on
our
on
our
hotels
and
those
were
potential
events
that
were
going
to
help
us
get
our
numbers
up.
A
A
We
we're
still
going
to
be
in
a
good
good
position.
Advertising
wise,
even
though
we're
cutting
a
big
big
amount,
we're
cutting
almost
50
percent
on
our
on,
in
some
cases
and
25
in
others,
and
so
for
us.
It
was
really
important
to
assure
that
we
are
still
having
that
presence
and
we're
still
having
that
that
reach
to
our
customer
or
to
our
potential
visitor
with
that
and
relic
and
others.
They
have
been
instrumental.
A
Right
now,
with
the
government
there's
a
lot
of
national
guard
that
there's
a
lot
of
government.
I
know
that
the
installation
of
the
not
hospital
setting,
but
the
the
assistant
setting
that
they
did
at
the
red
roof
inn,
is
translating
into
rooms
for
some
of
the
hotels,
because
all
the
staff,
that's
servicing
the
people
that
are
at
the
red
roof
inn
all
the
staff
is
staying
at
different
properties.
G
That
is
correct
with
reproofing
eileen.
That
is
not
it's
not
not
tax
collection
right.
They
they
lease
the
property
as
as
as
a
real
estate
right.
No,
no
correct!
Okay!
Yes,
yes,
a
lot
of
those
those
of
personnel.
Yes,
there
are
extended
stay,
but
at
least
at
least
the
the
rents
that
we're
seeing.
There's
a
mix,
there's
some
that
come
for
a
couple
of
weeks.
So
those
we
are
collecting
taxes.
G
G
Still,
of
course,
we
don't
have
visitors
right,
but
but
it's
looking
like
people
are
adjusting
and
they're
making
adjustments
and
and
and
they're,
allowing
employees
to
travel
we're
seeing
people
that
we
haven't
seen
in
in
two
three
months.
So
that's
good
news
to
me.
So
hopefully
we
keep
seeing
that.
I
know
things
are
not
getting
better,
but
at
least
you
know
I
feel
like
companies
are
adjusting
or
or
taking
the
risk
and
and
allowing
their
employees
to
travel.
G
A
Yeah
and
what
we
see
in
our
reports
is,
we
were
still
in
the
50
low,
50s
occupancy,
which
means
it's
slowly,
but
surely
it
reflects
what
what
magali
is
saying.
Slowly,
but
surely
we
see
the
increase,
it's
not
worth
still
not
in
the
60s,
we're
still
not
in
the
70s
than
we
used
to
be,
but
definitely
showing
a
slight
increase.
It's
right
now
is
is
better
than
than
any.
G
G
B
B
G
G
G
So
you
know
that
is
like
somebody
that
had
no
business
innovator
right
now
this
this
this
facility
that
was
installed
red
roofing,
has,
of
course,
has
brought
more
people
more
travelers.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
nurses
coming
down
technicians,
so
I
think
I
think
yes,
some
of
the
business
is
gonna
be
down,
but
we're
seeing
like
new
new
people,
new
companies
there's
a
new
demand.
So
it's
not
what
we
want
right.
We
don't.
G
B
G
Yes,
our
two
new
hotels
are
are
performing
really
well,
especially
the
extended
stay.
The
demand
for
extended
stay,
it's
really
really
big,
the
other
one,
which
is
the
true
the
more
transient
traveling
that
that
is
very
similar
to
la
quinta,
but
we
are
seeing
an
increase
as
well,
even
though
we
were
really
really
low
at
the
beginning,
little
by
little.
We're
seeing
that
increased.
G
A
A
Yes,
we
can
uh-huh
okay,
so
you
see
march,
you
see
the
the
very
clear
mark
when
the
stay-at-home
orders
everything
started
was
on
the
15th
and
from
there
you
can
see
the
decline
april.
We
were
in
the
40s
may
started
to
go
a
little
bit
higher.
We
were
probably
sometimes
in
the
high
50s
and
you
see
june.
We
are
for
the
most
part
in
the
50s.
We
had
some
some
peaks
here
and
there,
but
for
the
most
part
we're
in
the
houston.
A
A
G
B
B
Very,
very
encouraging
you
know,
because
I
missed
all
of
this
pandemic
and
everything
going
on.
You
know,
especially
the
loss
of
life
and
everything
that
we've
had
around
us
in
the
last
last
few
weeks
and
especially
has
been
increased
that
it's
good
to
see
that
there
are
some
encouraging
signs.
You
know
that
we
can
do
and
say
you
know
this
will
get
better.
G
A
If
there's
there's
four
or
five
people
living
in
an
apartment
with
one
bathroom
or
other
settings
where
there's
not
the
the
necessary
space
for
somebody
to
have
their
own
room
and
their
own
bathroom
yeah,
that
is
not
possible.
So
the
city
is
looking
for
properties
that
are
okay
with
with
having
people
that
are
not
necessarily
sick,
but
that
they're
staying
separate
from
a
a
family
member
or
a
several
family
members
are
sick
to
avoid
more
people.
A
A
A
G
Yeah
we
thought
about
it,
but
honestly,
like
we've,
been
we've
been
like
taking
care
of
other
stuff
and
like
that,
went
to
the
side,
we're
remodeling
