Tourism Talks are free to attend and are a great opportunity for hotels, attractions, museums, restaurants and other hospitality related businesses to get together with Kent County Tourism staff and hear what we’re working on to attract more visitors, learn more about tourism topics affecting Kent County, learn from each other about ways to improve visitor experiences, and share any news about your organization like events, meeting spaces available, any challenges you’re facing, etc.
We encourage all of our community partners to attend! It’s a great opportunity to network with other community partners and figure out what’s going on in your own backyards. Some of our past Tourism Talks have been held at DE Turf Sports Complex, Air Mobility Command Museum, and Delaware Public Archives to name a few.Â
