Columbia CVB hosting breakfast to celebrate tourism

COLUMBIA, MO (May 2, 2016) - The Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) will celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week with a breakfast on the morning of Tuesday, May 3. The event begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Reynolds Alumni Center on the University of Missouri campus and features guest speaker Dan Lennon, director of the Missouri Division of Tourism. Additional speakers include Deputy City Manager Tony St. Romaine and CVB Director Amy Schneider.

The event aims to focus on the importance of the tourism industry in our area to elected officials, City officials and the local business community. The breakfast also will highlight local tourism accomplishments over the past year, including record spending by visitors and the accreditation of the CVB.

National Travel and Tourism Week—America's annual salute to travel and tourism—was established by a congressional resolution in 1983. This week of events serves to champion the power of our industry. Travel and tourism professionals from across the nation work throughout the week to promote the impactful contributions their travel markets and organizations make to the U.S. economy.
