Welcome to the Stakeholder Corner!

Dear Stakeholders,

Welcome to the New Year! Thank you to all you for your contributions in making 2018-19 a great year. MCCVB partnered with Fox Sports and the U.S. Open to produce the amazing footage you may have caught on t.v. while watching the 110^th U.S. Open tournament in Pebble Beach. The coverage equaled nearly $9 million of ad value for our destination which was definitely a great way to close out the year!

Thank you again for your partnership and support.

Have a great summer!

Sustainable Moments

Responsible travel doesn't just mean packing up your trash, respecting private property and making sure your campfire is in a legally designated area, it also means planning ahead.

Did you know that the City of Monterey offers a free trolley service? It's the best way to get around the City and avoid parking and traffic congestion. The free MST Trolley operates on a daily basis Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. The route serves Downtown Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Look for the green MST Trolley signs to board along the route.

If you're planning a trip down the coast, be sure to download the YourCoast app (available for Apple only, Android users can utilize www.yourcoast.org). The free interactive guide gives you information on trails and public facilities, including restrooms, in many parks and beaches a located along California's spectacular coastline.

ANNUAL CHECK-UP TIME

The new year is here which means it's a good time to give yourself a check up. Please take a look at your landing page on www.seemonterey.com and make sure your listing descriptions and photos are up to date. If you need help with accessing the Extranet portal, please call us or send an email to: membership@seemonterey.com.

Also, if you haven't been in a while, stop by the Monterey Visitors Center located at 401 Camino El Estero. Our Destination Specialists love being able to catch up with you. It would also be good time to do an inventory check on your collateral. Make sure we have enough of your brochures and rack cards on hand. Having a special event? Post a flyer on our bulletin board while you're there!
