Summer Regional Workshop - South Padre Island
Small Budget, Big Impact — Let’s Talk Strategy in South Padre!
We’re excited to invite you to the TACVB Regional Workshop where we’ll explore a powerful, budget-smart strategy for destination marketing: Leveraging Local Influencers on a Small DMO Budget. Join fellow destination professionals from across the region for this dynamic session:
Leveraging Local Influencers on a Small DMO Budget
Small DMOs can make a big impact by partnering with local influencers to promote their destinations and events, often at little to no cost. Hear from RGV Taste’s Ivanna Mendoza, Dr. Lynda Luarin, and Adan Garcia of Pollux Castor, on how to build authentic, budget-friendly collaborations that drive results.
Whether you're managing your destination solo or with a team, this session will show you how to build authentic, cost-effective influencer partnerships that truly move the needle—no mega-budget required.
