Tourism leaders from around the state gathered in Baltimore last week for the Destinations International Annual Convention. This year’s conference theme was “Disruption,” and how destination leaders and partners can work to cultivate innovative approaches and solutions that will advance the good work they do on behalf of the communities they serve. Destinations International represents a powerful forward-thinking, collaborative association of destination managers exchanging bold ideas, connecting innovative people, and elevating tourism to its highest potential.
