Events Manager April Brown reported on the event's success, revealing plans for its continuation in January 2025.
Looking ahead, the CVB has exciting plans for a "Visit SPI" (VSPI) event titled "Tourism Town Hall" at the Brew Pub on Thursday, February 22, 2024, at 6 p.m.
The event's objective is twofold – to expound the impactful initiatives undertaken by VSPI within the community and to gather public perceptions through a survey. This initiative aims to enhance community understanding and qualify for inclusion in the industry standards for Destinations International.
Cindy Treviño, Director of Marketing and Corporate Sponsorships, shared insights into collaborative Spring Break plans with Isla Grand's General Manager, Daniel Salazar. The CVAB team is actively organizing engaging activities, including University battles featuring games like tug of war, water balloon toss, karaoke, and more.
Stay tuned for the upcoming festivities that promise to add vibrancy to Spring Break on the island.
