2021 Virtual Awards and Annual Meeting
The team at Richmond Region Tourism hosted our Virtual Awards & Annual Meeting, an exciting moment to celebrate the vitality and importance of our local tourism community.
During the event, we premiered Find Your Moment, a new advertising campaign by Richmond Region Tourism encouraging residents to share their favorite local experiences and attractions with friends and family. Find Your Moment’s goal is to remind people, when they are ready, to welcome loved ones back to visit.
We’d love for you to post your favorite RVA moment using the #MyRVAMoment hashtag on social media and sharing the campaign videos with friends. You’ll see them running on online and on TV.
