 Members of the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau and Madison Area Sports Commission celebrate two Wisconsin Tourism Trailblazer Awards with Wisconsin Department of Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett and Julia Hertel, WACVB Executive Director. | The Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) and Madison Area Sports Commission (MASC) are being honored for their outstanding efforts to promote the greater Madison area as a tourism destination. The Wisconsin Association of CVBs (WACVB) selected the GMCVB and MASC for two Wisconsin Tourism Trailblazer awards at the 2018 Wisconsin Fall Tourism Conference in Stevens Point, WI. The GMCVB was recognized in the Outstanding Partnerships category for the Essential Madison Experiences, a collection of brand new, only-in-Madison experiences developed with nine Dane County businesses. The hands-on experiences take visitors and residents behind-the-scenes of favorite attractions and showcase the best that the greater Madison area has to offer. MASC was honored in the Outstanding Marketing and Communications Initiative or Campaign category for the public art phenomenon, Bucky on Parade. The project, featuring 85 Bucky Badger statues, captured the hearts of tens of thousands of visitors, generated over 11,000 public Instagram posts and netted one million dollars for charity. |
I’m tremendously honored that the WACVB recognized the efforts that our teams and partners put forth on these two groundbreaking programs, which have made Madison an even greater community to visit,” said Deb Archer, President and CEO of the Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau and Madison Area Sports Commission. “By developing new products and opportunities, we are able to take visitors, and residents, deeper into what makes Madison so very unique.”
