It's not too late to register for this week's Explore Asheville partner webinar, "Reinvent Your Path to Success: How To Promote New Experiences To Your Audiences," Wednesday, January 13, at 9 a.m., presented by JB Media Institute, LLC.

For our tourism community, the global pandemic has meant reimagining what success looks like. Doing things the way they've always been done may not produce hoped-for results – that’s why digital marketing strategist and educator Sarah Benoit says now is the time to innovate. She'll share best practices for listening to your audiences to identify what they want and need, and will also provide tips for communicating clearly what has changed with your products and services.
