Local agencies to host Augusta tourism event

In April, the Augusta National Golf Club hosted its first full Masters Tournament since 2019, which greatly helped the local tourism industry.

Destination Augusta, the Augusta Sports Council, and Film Augusta will host Experience Augusta: An Annual Tourism Celebration on Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Miller Theater. Destination Augusta President and CEO, Bennish Brown and Augusta Sports Council CEO, Michelle Pippin will discuss the industry’s accomplishments for this year.

“All of our community partners and the Destination Augusta Board have worked extremely hard as we moved through this period of recovery,” he said. “It is important to pause and celebrate our 2022 successes. This event also gives us the chance to cast a vision for our collective work over the next three years.”

The event will also preview Authentic Augusta Experiences, a product that’s currently under development.
