MMGY Global

We’ve been doing our annual Agency Week in some form for almost the entirety of our 43-year history. You don’t do something for nearly four decades if it’s not important or effective. And nothing matters to us more than inspiring our global teams, connecting together as colleagues, giving back to our communities through service opportunities and learning new things. We could tell you how amazing this past week was, but we’d rather let the video do the talking.

It’s time to celebrate that PRIDE! While we do it year-round, we love to lift up those who show their Pride during this month of joy. Because what that looks like is unique to everyone, we want to share what it means to some of our LGBTQ+ employees. Happy Pride!

Data “is”? Or data “are”? If you’re one of the “are” folks, then we hope to see you over the next few days at the Travel and Tourism Research Association’s 54th Annual International Conference. Three of our data specialists from MMGY Travel Intelligence and NextFactor are there – so make sure to say hello to Sindy Diab, Simon Moriarty and David Lorenz. Because data are the heart and soul of everything we do at MMGY Global, our sponsorship of TTRA’s annual conference is predictive. And with a topic like “Global Insights, Local Stories: Shaping Tourism Research,” it’s almost prescriptive. (We hope you’re enjoying our embedded puns – we’re going for quality over quantity here.)

The Women Leading Travel & Hospitality Summit kicks off today – and as proud sponsors of this annual event, we can’t wait to grab our name tags and get started. Featuring top minds in the industry, this year’s Summit covers the hottest travel trends and topics. If you’re attending, be sure to say hello to Katie Briscoe, Lisa Graves, Jessica Schultz and Johanna Cook. We hope to see you there!

Returning from a special week in Panama where I attended Tourism Cares Meaningful Travel Summit on behalf of MMGY Global and moderated a panel on “Nature Positive Tourism” along with my Costa Rica Tourism client Carolina Trejos and local members of Panama’s tourism community. It was a great opportunity to experience community based tourism in action.

We’re eagerly awaiting the results of The Travel Marketing Awards 2024, where MMGY has been shortlisted for "Marketing Agency of the Year"! Join us as the winners are announced and celebrated on Thursday, July 4, at the Hilton London Bankside. #TTMA2024
