Halifax County CVB Wins Platinum Award

The North Carolina Travel Industry Association held its annual meeting in Raleigh on November 15 & 16, 2023. The conference was full of dynamic and informative sessions, marketing updates, policy and politics discussions, organizational business, fellowship, and celebration. 

This year’s agenda included a marketing update by Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit North Carolina; a legislative session update by Brian Lewis and Skye David, NCTIA lobbyists; and a plenary session called “AI for the Travel Industry—Transform for the Digital Age” by technology specialist Jim Spellos.

The NCTIA conference wrapped up the conference with its annual awards dinner celebration.

At the annual conference, NCTIA presents its Tourism Achievement Awards to honor and showcase innovation, best practices, creativity, and results accomplished through our industry’s attraction-level and destination-level marketing efforts. At the 2023 Tourism Leadership Conference, the Halifax County Convention & Visitors Bureau was honored with the Platinum Marketing Achievement Award for Community Stakeholder Communication.

“We are honored to be recognized by our peers with this prestigious award!” said Lori Medlin, President & CEO of the Halifax County Convention & Visitors Bureau, “Our team works hard every day to tell Halifax County’s stories. We are proud of our organization and its successes! We do this work for its impact on our community, not for awards. But it let us know we are working in the right direction to be honored by our peers!”
