You gotta be in it to win it. 🙂
This is a time to recognize the extraordinary talent and dedication of digital tourism marketers who continue to pave the way in creative destination marketing. The 3rd Annual eTourism Summit Excellence Awards (the “eTSY” Awards) celebrates the best of 2019-2020 campaigns and programs with awards in a dozen original categories to be distributed on the occasion of the 21st Annual eTourism Summit.
