We said what we said. 🙅♀️ In this spicy episode, we’re calling out the condescending “bless your heart” treatment that small DMOs get from big-budget partners. Newsflash: a tight budget doesn’t mean a lack of vision, talent, or impact. So why do some industry players act like collaboration is a luxury item only available to the highest bidder?
We’re flipping the script and demanding better—because small but mighty DMOs deserve more than a patronizing head pat and a “maybe next time.” If you’re building tools, products, or partnerships in the tourism world, it’s time to actually build them for everyone. Not just the shiny big-city destinations with six-figure ad spends.
Tune in for some real talk, uncomfortable truths, and a few choice words about equity, innovation, and why the future of tourism depends on inclusion—not exclusion.
🔥 Buckle up. It’s time to talk respect, resources, and real partnership.
