We talked to Justin Farmer, Senior Vice President Business Strategy at MMGY Global, about what makes certain applications stand out in the judging process.
“I can tell you that when we decided to partner on the inaugural program in 2021, it was all about recognizing the next wave of leadership. We are looking for individuals with a strong commitment to their organization, community, and the tourism industry on a wider scale.
We all see lots of award shows and recognition programs. However, we aim to ensure this one is not the run-of-the-mill by representing a broader swathe of fresh-thinking tourism folks of all ages and in all positions from destinations of different sizes and diverse locations across the country.
At MMGY Global, we have five core values that guide us and the programs we support.
- Inclusive
- Empowering
- Curious
- Creative
- Transformative
We are looking for up-and-coming individuals through the Emerging Tourism Stars that represent and celebrate each of these values.”
On December 15, Justin Farmer will interview six Emerging Tourism Stars 2021 in a webinar. You’re invited to hear more about what these winners are thinking, where they see themselves in the next five years, what the award means to their personal career development, plus more insights. Registration details to follow.
