"You have all of these touchpoints that aren't necessarily under our control, but we understand that we own the experience."

Hospitality runs deep in Memphis -- from the creation of Holiday Inn to making an event of ducks walking to an elevator -- every detail of that experience is curated by individuals in the hospitality industry. But what is being done to pour into those curating these 901-derful experiences? Enter: Welcome To Memphis.

Glen Thomas (Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority) and Marcus Cox (Welcome to Memphis) share about the hospitality sector and how it’s a driver for not just the economy but also a driver for city culture and pride.
