Communications

The Greater Palm Springs Communications team kicked off 2019 by assisting with a total of 139 journalists both in and out of market during the months of January and February.

The beginning of the year brought the team to International Media Marketplace (IMM), Visit California Media Luncheon at New York Times Travel Show, Meredith Publications Editors Panel, SATW Editors’ Council Reception and additional media appointments, including the Today Show and CNN Travel in New York City.

Renowned as the industry’s leading event for media to connect with travel and tourism boards, the annual IMM event brought over 50 national media face-to-face with representatives from Greater Palm Springs.

In February the team attended Visit California Outlook Forum, which brought together attendees from across the state for updates on California’s primary and secondary markets.

The CVB also hosted a group FAM to promote the new direct JetBlue flight from Boston to PSP, providing influencers and journalists an opportunity to escape the cold and find their oasis in Greater Palm Springs.

  • Communications – Social Media

    Communications - SM

    The Communications team stays on top of the latest social media and digital developments. We research, share ideas and interact daily on the CVB’s social channels to inspire visiting print and online media, digital influencers and FAM groups to post social media content. In addition to the CVB's social media tags, we ask that CVB Partner social media handles and hashtags be utilized during the destination visit.
