Brand USA Holds Global Media Forum

Members of OTD’s Public Relations staff, under the umbrella of CRUSA, participated in the Brand USA Global Media Forum that was held July 20-21. The two-day event included sessions highlighting new and trending travel experiences in the United States, as well as a series of virtual deskside meetings to build relationships with international travel journalists, specifically from the United Kingdom, Germany and France. They pitched what’s new in the region and what’s to come next year when international travel is more accessible and available.
