04-04-19 Convention & Visitors Bureau Advisory Committee Meeting
C
C
D
D
We
see
an
increment
of
between
one
and
two
percent
between
2017
and
2018,
the
same
the
same
quarter,
and
so
we
just
went
and
I'll
be
part
about
the
my
report,
but
we
just
came
back
from
a
month
away.
So
we
present
that
a
lot
of
those
numbers,
and
so
we
consistently
see
an
increment
of
those
in
our
occupancy.
D
C
F
G
D
Jenner
is
usually
up
as
snow
or
month
of
December,
but
generally
still
do
because
we
have
wc8.
They're
very
is
good
because
we
have
WC,
but
that
make
this
December
was
was
so
watching
it.
A
question
in
celebration
would
be
reflected
in
March,
accept
okay
in
February
and
March,
because
of
though,
but
most
of
the
events
that
bring
a
lot
of
people
are
in
February.
So,
yes,.
G
A
D
D
And
so
what
they
do,
basically,
is
the
data
mining.
The
way
it
works
is
for
the
longest
time
we
get
the
question
who
comes
to
the
rail?
How
many
people
come
with
our
Mexico?
How
do
you
know
you're
marketing
to
the
right
people,
how
many
people
come
from
the
US
and
and
how
do
you
know,
you're
marketing
to
the
right
location?
And
so
we
know
based
on
experience
we,
but
we
want
to
have
the
data
to
back
up
and
tell
us
we're
going
the
right
way
or
not
right.
D
So
what
we've
decided
to,
and
we've
been
trying
to
do,
market
research
for
quite
a
while,
and
we
finally
were
able
to
contract
with
this
company
called
my
ecology.
Now
the
next
step
is
getting
the
buy-in
from
all
the
hotels,
because
the
data
that's
being
analyzed,
is
from
the
hotels.
So
we
already
met
with
a
couple
of
depended
on
our
presentation
and
we're
going
to
be
visiting
with
the
rest
of
the
hotels,
because
we
believe
that
this
is
something
really
important.
D
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing
in
terms
of
marketing
to
the
right
people
being
making
sure
that
our
dollars
are
spent
in
the
most
effective
way,
and
this
is
also
the
results
of
this
study
are
going
to
be
shared
with
the
hotels.
So
the
same
information
that
we
have
the
hotels
are
going
to
be
able
to
have
that
information
in
order
to
also
make
decisions
on
their
sales
and
their
strategy
for
marketing
and
general
sales.
D
Okay,
now
we
can
do
our
marketing,
but
the
results
are
going
to
be
shared
with
all
the
hotels
that
participate
and
the
markets
then
doesn't
been
worth
it,
and
so
we're
gonna
continue
working
with
with
meeting
with
different
hotels
meeting
with
different
attractions
in
order
to
get
those
numbers
and,
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
result
this
we're
going
to
get
a
study
that
shows
us
the
personas
or
the
type
of
people
that
come
to
the
Ritter
from
both
Mexico
and
the
u.s.
there
we
can
include.
D
B
D
Sip
code
and
yeah:
it's
it's
information,
they
don't
ask
for
names,
they
don't
ask
for
credit
card,
they
don't
ask
for
anything,
that's
sensitive.
They
be
provided
to
to
the
that
attended
that
meeting.
They
gave
them
an
example.
What
Cedar
Park
is
now
doing
they're
based
out
of
Austin,
and
so
they
they
asked
for
information
that
allows
them
to
identify
the
customer.
B
D
B
E
D
Money
motivate
we
can
go
back
and
say
because
we
have
the
data
that
shows
that
we
have
this
amount
of
people
coming
from
of
the
right
that
they
spend
money
here,
that
they
stay
for
an
average
of
five
six
seven
nights.
Hopefully
they
do
at
least
during
the
holidays,
or
they
stay
for
the
weekend
and
they
like
to
shop.
So
we
have
more
thing
than
to
back
up
what
we
do
in
terms
of
marketing
and
it's
not
just
our
experience.
But
it's
the
vein
of
effective.
D
C
D
B
D
Going
to
get
these
people
and
they
can
show
us
okay,
you're
the
person
that's
more
prone
to
come
to
Laredo,
it's
the
winter
text
of
the
retiree,
though,
or
the
business
traveler
or
the
so
they're
gonna
give
us
that
breakdown
and
the
next
space
is
having
that
deeper
information
of
when
they're
coming.
So
there's
there's
a
lot
of
phases,
but
on
the
first
phase
we
want
to
identify
that
for
some
that.
D
Can
it
can
help
us
confirm
what
we're
doing
or
even
say
we're
not
in
the
right
location?
Let's
move
to
a
different
one,
so
we
think
that
it's
going
to
be
very
beneficial.
They
already
do
it
with
several
Texas
destinations
and
I
was
talking
to
them
to
Darrin
Duritz,
who
came
down
to
the
rail,
and
he
was
explaining
to
me
all
the
different
phases
to
tell
them
that
I
want
to
know
more
about
theirs
and
that
feel
like
we
can
do
it.
We
can
go
as
deep
as
you
need.
D
Are
they
looking
for
so
they
create
this
like
profile
of
the
traveler
and
that
comes
to
the
radome
and
how
to
attract
that
traveler,
the
different
types?
That's,
what
they
call
the
personas
if
they
identify
the
different
types
of
traveler
that
come
to
me
to
to
Laredo,
for
example,
from
Mexico
they
say
well
as
an
example:
it's
a
family,
they
come,
they
drive
their
middle
class,
they
spend
the
person,
be
one
or
two
nights,
so
they
give
us
that
profile
and
they
tell
us
that
person
reads
these
newspapers.
D
C
C
D
D
H
G
D
D
G
D
I
D
G
D
G
E
D
D
C
D
We
have
a
chance
to
see
the
competition.
We
have
a
test
to
see,
go
see
a
couple
of
malls.
We
just
tore
very
quickly,
but
they
are
opening
a
lot
of
moss
and
the
month.
Ave
area,
with
the
stores
that
we
come
here
and
surprise
is
very
important
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
competition
they
just
open.
Em.
All
it
has
Cheesecake
Factory
has
Victoria
Secret,
it
has
all
Navy
and
so
Vic
Janice
the
prices
are
considerably
higher.
We
were
calculating
that
Victoria's.
D
D
C
F
J
G
B
D
A
G
A
G
D
D
Yeah
well
much,
it
seems.
Losers
are
now
the
work
for
younger
generations
get
their
information
from
make
decisions
based
on
what
another
person
that
went
to
the
location
or
experience
or
based
about
that
thinner
to
obsess,
and
so
we
had
a
few
influencers
there
and
events
that
happen
to
Moreno.
We
had
travel
agencies
that
do
all
their
business
through
Facebook.
D
D
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
also
did
as
meet
with
different
media
and
make
sure
that
we're
using
all
those
opportunities,
because
now
all
the
media
has
not
only,
for
example,
in
North,
that
we've
met
with
another
tour
of
their
offices
and
they
don't
only
have
print
and
electronic,
which
is
what
we
should
do
now.
They
have
live
streaming
now
they
have
video.
D
C
D
I
D
Doing
our
rebranding,
as
you
know,
for
the
US
market-
and
we
just
finalized
the
selection
and
we're
about
to
announce
that,
though
the
agency
that
we're
going
to
work
with
but
part
of
what
we
want
to
achieve
is
a
new
immune
destination
video
because
we
had
one.
We
have
one
for
meetings,
we
have
one
for
port,
but
only
one
one,
for
he
sure
and
I
would
we're
doing
the
rebranding.
We
included
that
in
the
scope
of
work,
great.
A
D
One
of
my
appointments
you'll
be
good
idea.
This
is
something
that
this
is
a
report
that
we
purchase
and
we
get
every
month.
It's
it's
a
benchmark.
It's
a
sample.
It's
not
our
home
market,
because
not
all
hotels
provide
the
information,
but
we,
when
we
do
is
we
pick
several
hotels
from
each
zone.
You
see
someone
at
Downtown
all
loop
35
and
we
compare
their
occupancy
to
the
ones
from
our
competition.
D
So
we've
been
consistently
in
the
sixties
and
seventies
for
the
last
almost
year
and
a
half
two
years,
and
you
can
see
that
comparison
to
my
countermission
farm,
all
the
other
destinations
that
we
see,
including
corpus,
they're,
VCS
coverage,
and
this
record
we
get.
We
thought
we
reduced
change
the
report
recently
to
get
more
information
and
they,
so
they
didn't
send
this
January
on
time.
So
we
put
together
ten
favorite,
but
we
actually
get
it
on
a
monthly
basis
and
now
we're
gonna
go
into
more
detail
with
them.
So
we're
going
to
choose
a
few.
G
J
This
was
that
we
have
nationalism.
Possibly
there
was
a
very
successful
event
being
that
we
have
about
a
month
and
a
half
to
actually
we're
looking
to
New
Mexico
the
schoolís,
and
they
decided
to
bring
into
Texas
everywhere.
So,
like
this
wonderful
city,
so
we
managed
to
do
it.
It
was
a
good
event,
but
it
was
really
good
having
most
of
the
event
people
from
state
national
and
from
Mexico
as
well
from
the
governor's
office
from
state,
national
and
even
faxing,
you
know
federal.
So
so
we
had
a
great
turnout
for
people.
J
They
enjoyed
the
reception
area
a
bit.
So
that's
one
of
things:
I
wanted
to
invite
him
we're
finalizing
there.
Even
for
the
Celtics
was
amateur
boxing
regional
tournament.
It's
going
to
be
the
last
weekend
of
April,
so
we
we
expect
we're
finalizing
anything
from
the
judges,
everything
that
we
need
to
do
for
that
and
the
officials.
So,
let's
see
so
we're
pretty
much.
Have
everything
for
that
event
as
well
and
then,
like
I
mentioned
on
you,
make
June
we're
going
to
be
hosting
that
the
state.
J
J
Show
just
like
the
sports
or
any
varieties
on
this
personality.
We
don't
have
the
the
video
that
we
have
the
kind
of
that
we
did
it
so
meetings
video,
but
it
kind
of
highlights
a
little
bit
because
I
like
to
say
young
I,
like
some
of
the
facilities,
hotels,
the
airport,
the
carport,
is
whole.
It's
a
general
video
that
highlights
everything.
Obviously
that's
the
ball
that
once
we
write
another,
the
the
things
that
we
have
going
on
is
the
project
is
the
because
sports
complex.
J
So
once
that
gets
finalized
and
actually
construction
of
that,
then
obviously
we
won't
do
a
video
that,
because
that's
gonna,
that's
gonna,
be
a
good
selling
point
once
you
know
we
with
the
Convention
Center.
You
know
whether
all
those
projects
that
we
have
the
natatorium
for
this
little
district,
so
all
those
facilities
that
eventually
will
come
up.
That's
when
we
start
doing
item,
that's
that
will
be
a
good
selling
point,
Facebook
social
media
and
when
we
go
to
different,
shows,
give
it
to
the
you
know,
tournament
directors
or
meeting
planners.
So
they'll
be
good.
G
D
D
B
Know
they're
very
expensive
to
make,
but
maybe
up
else
can
make
some
in-house
or
you
know,
subdivide
it
maybe
obviously
be
expensive
but
liking
quarters.
Where
someone
calls
are
you
going
to
sit
in
the
video
you
could
send
something
goes
on
January
and
March
if
we're
going
to
be
coming
those
three
months
right,
because
it's
gonna
have
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
They're,
going
to
compare
that
I'll
go
to
sister
city
or
I,
know
it's
expensive,
but
let
me
simply
think
of
in
the
future
divide
the
two
divided
for
three
well.
D
G
B
D
F
C
E
E
Reports
on
page
8
well,
of
course,
sweet
and
came
back
and
marching
continue,
working
with
Washington
DC's.
That's
a
straight
up
trip
and
finalize
everything
he
also
at
the
same
time
and
I
forgot
to
put,
and
we
had
the
Realtors
conference
so
I
had
to
stop
support
me
back
home
and
and
continue
it
because
it
was
the
7th
through
the
8th.
So
we
had
140
attendees
for
the
conference
and
they
were
very
gracious.
They
they
send
us
a
letter
for
all
CVB
stats.
E
You
know
from
the
work
that
we
have
done
with
them
and
in
the
planning
they
event
to
deck
the
date
that
they
were
here.
They
they
posted
at
Apple
Sava
and
they
they've
had
a
lot
of
fun
and
they
were
very
happy
to
be
emerado
and
coming
back.
Hopefully,
if
you
have
any
other
questions,
I
just
well
that
you
know
that
destination
training
will
be
changed
for
April
16th
I'll
be
achieved
a
they
have
a
group
about
30
people,
because.
G
E
Mobility,
not
the
18th
over
260
they'll
have
30
people
already
signed
up
the
combination
with
some
students
from
LCC
and
hotel
years
so
and
also
the
coming
up.
They
I
spoke
to
to
Rosie
and
they're
not
available
for
us
on
April
5th,
so
they'll
be
doing
it
April
12th.
Next
Friday.
We
have
a
lot
of
events
comment.
You
know
we're
we're
planning
to
make
it
bigger
and
better
and
also
tying
it
up
with
an
opening
of
an
exhibit.
So
that's
world
will
be
changing
the
dates.
E
D
Reports
just
begun,
hurting
poor
city,
not
right
now
as
an
architect
she's
with
a
travel
writer
she's
during
a
travel
writer
with
kinks
in
the
river
we've
had.
This
is
the
second
one
this
year,
one
of
three
of
these
and
we
were
going
to
have
done
first
half
of
the
year
and
this
travel
writer
came
through
the
office
of
the
governor
and
also
tix
is
burning.
So
they
come
here
and
write
about
the
food,
the
the
food,
the
ecotourism
of
the
different
activities.
They're
here
he's
here
for
two
days,
mr.
D
E
Really
important
people
on
that
lab
scientists.
He
is
from
England,
so
he
is
actually
going
to
promote
Texas
as
a
burning
destination
and
in
Europe
and
the
whole
thing,
especially
in
England,
because
what
happens
that
they
usually
go
to
Florida.
It's
too
bird,
but
he's
been
he's
doing
this
tour
to
come
to
to
promote
Texas
as
a
whole.
So
he's
going
to
do
he's
actually
going
to
do
or
trying
to
bring
groups
to
Texas
and
do
three
or
two
cities
along
the
way
that
he
has
come
in
experienced.
C
D
E
A
E
C
D
I
D
And
and
they
want
to
differentiate
themselves
from
other
other
festivals,
like
what's
the
value
where
you
get
on
a
bus,
and
it's
just
here,
you
get
in
a
bed
with
a
guy,
and
so
you
have
this
subject
matter
expert
talking
to
you
one-on-one
and
so
that
the
experience
that
they
want
to
right
to
them.
Ellenberger
you.
D
I
B
G
K
A
D
G
D
So
that
that's
how
month
away
is,
and
so
some
federal
they
have
a
large
Avenue
and
during
the
week
on
Sunday,
they
close
it
so
that
people
can
bike
can
run,
can
take
their
pets
and
they
have
different
activities.
They
have
different
dynamics
and
for
people
to
interact,
and
so
we're
gonna
be
in
some
other
beat
that
for
the
next.
D
D
C
G
K
G
C
It's
crazy,
yeah,
yes,
I
know,
so
is
that
no
on
the
border-
and
you
know
here
all
of
these
things
are
going
on
up
there.
I
should
sit.
That's
just
not
true.
Let
me
step
the
way
it
is
when
you
come
down
to
seeing
the
real
thing.
The
wait
thanks
operate
on
the
border
I
mean
it's
crazy
I'm
for
people
to
just
say:
I'm
gonna
close
the
border.
That's
very.
E

D
D
Been
trying
to
figure
that
out
one
of
the
ideas
that
we
haven't,
we
haven't
finished
that
project,
but
one
of
the
ideas
is
doing
a
survey
and
we
need
to
follow
up
on
that.
We
can
elect
that
project
to
the
side,
but
we
were
planning
a
survey
to
see
if
those
people
that
are
asking
for
information
are.
D
A
B
Tell
me
earlier
that
dumb
we've
all
we've
been
asked
about
Loretta
suitors
at
our
store
and
a
lot
of
customers
would
come
in
and
the
first
thing
they
ask
is
its:
do
you
have
already
loose
carts
and
I
would
say
sorry,
we
don't
do
just
turn
around
and
walk
out,
but
after
a
while
pattern,
maybe
realized
we
might
be
missing
out
on
a
little
bit
of
income
sales,
so
I
started.
You
know
with
a
couple
of
postcards
designing
a
postcard
because
nobody
sells
over
a
postcard.
B
If
they
do
it
says
Texas,
it's
blue
mom
is
in
the
Alamo,
and
so
you
notice
I'm
one
word.
It
might
reflect
some
of
the
stuff
that
might
visit
it
and
besides,
that
would
also
Webb
County.
Heritage
Foundation
has
postcards,
but
I
don't
have
one
that
represented.
You
know
my
store
in
Laredo
and
they
would
ask
us
for
shot
glasses,
keychains
magnets.
So
we
started
with
regular
and
of.
B
Now
then,
when
they
come
in,
do
you
have
postcards?
Yes,
they
buy
the
postcard
to
stay
in
the
store
to
buy
a
little
bit
more
enough,
and
you
said
you
put
these
together.
You
took
the
pictures
and
well
I.
Had
someone
take
pictures
for
me.
Cool
yeah
and
I
showed
it
to
a
year
ago,
and
she
has
permission
your
website
behind
it.
Yeah
I
don't
have
any
email,
they
wanted
people
right.

They
don't
make
it
them
to
our
office
they're
already
in
the
store
and
that's
a
plus,
so
they
get
more
of
the
goodies.
We
have
souvenir
so
everything
that
we
give
to
groups
that
come.
We
have
the
month,
I
mean
everything,
but
we're
not
open
on
the
weekend
so
and
we
get
those
questions
and
sometimes
what
they
want
cos.
Øx
are
very
likely
have
our
logo
and
so
they're.
Looking
for
more
of
like
the
artisan.
