Business Leaders Honored



The Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Tulsa Hotel & Lodging Association honored local business people who helped bring meetings and events to Tulsa and announced the launch of a new campaign with the same goal.

The luncheon, presented by QuikTrip, was held in the Tulsa Convention Center’s new ballroom to recognize those who have impacted the local economy by attracting tourism dollars to the region, and announce the launch of a new effort to attract more meetings and conventions to Tulsa known as the “Bring it Home Tulsa” campaign.

“The goal of the campaign is to encourage Tulsans to recommend their hometown as the site for their next professional, civic or recreational group or organization’s national meeting or conference,” said Amy Huntley, vice president of the Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s our hope that more individuals will take a cue from the individuals we honored today and help us in an effort to attract more groups, meetings, conferences and events to Tulsa.”

Whether individuals are able to secure the group themselves or need a CVB representative to follow up on a lead, they can help in the effort to bring more tourism dollars to Tulsa that translate into much need public service projects and
programs. To learn more about the campaign, log on to www.VisitTulsa.com/BringItHome.
