Inside the Tourism Sales Game with Douglas Beinenfeld

<p>In this episode of Discover Fort Smith, hosts Emily Horn and Josh Buchfink welcome Douglas Beinenfeld, the new Director of Sales for Discover Fort Smith, fresh off a move from Detroit, Michigan. Douglas shares his 20 years in hospitality and tourism, what a CVB and director of sales actually do, and how Fort Smith&#39;s 100%-lodging-tax funding model works. He talks about exploring Arkansas with his dog Bear — from Mount Magazine to Hot Springs — and why he thinks the state is criminally underrated. The conversation also covers the international flavor Fort Smith has picked up from the F-35 pilot training mission, plus his favorite local restaurants one month in.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>#DiscoverFortSmith #FortSmithArkansas #TourismIndustry</p>
