#OneRoomAtATime
#OneRoomAtATime Series was created to begin a more focused concentrate on In-City tourism. Traditionally the outreach of the C & T department within the Hispano Chamber has been on conferences and conventions outside of a 60 mile radius of the city limits, to attract room night in larger numbers. However, with the world facing unprecedented times, industries have to shift to maintain relevancy within their communities. Working closer than ever on new strategies and new partnerships to bring awareness to NEW ways to promote and encourage economic development at all levels, is the only way industry’s such as hospitality and tourism will have a chance of successfully coming out of this time. The Hispano Chamber Convention & Tourism Dept., has decided to focus on this style of initiatives for the next fiscal year, in addition to working to maintain current relationships while doing reach-out for the future of conferences in our targeted Hispanic and Native American markets.
StayCation ABQ
As part of our #OneRoomAtATime Series, the Staycation initiative was created to have a more concentrated effort on In-City Tourism. Called our “Discovery Series” Staycations are the 2nd Saturday of each month. It is meant to encourage locals to discover unique spaces in our city by creating a local STAY away from home right here in your own back yard! Every month we will visit a local city attraction, stay in a local hotel and closing with dinner from a local restaurant. We hope to see you every month!
