How well do you know your state?
If you’ve traveled, you know how powerful a suggestion from a resident can be for where you might eat, what you might do, or where you might explore. It’s exciting to hear “there’s something you’ve got to check out” from someone who knows the area and fills the vacation with spontaneity and adventure.
But if you’re looking for a recommendation and you get uncertainty or disinterest, what’s your impression about the place you’ve decided to vacation in?
Surprise around every corner
It’s not like Nevada is a hard sell. In fact, there’s hardly a dull corner in this state. But if you’re not a local, it’s hard to know what there is to see even in the next county—which is why we’re here to help. With a little training, you’ll be part of an elite team of Nevada know-it-alls, ready to share unique, only-in-Nevada experiences like these:
A young family with a toddler strolls into a small store in central Nevada. They strike up a conversation with the cashier, who learns this is the family’s first visit to the state. As they make their purchase, the mom asks about family-friendly stops the cashier would recommend as they make their way to the next town. The cashier pauses to think before giving an answer.
Build Stronger Communities
As a tourism and hospitality professional, you aren’t just the backbone of Nevada’s economy, you are the front-line representative for your community. Your conversation with a visitor could be the only one they have with a local.
Your knowledge of Nevada attractions and destinations can absolutely make a visitor’s vacation. But just as important, by being an authority on things to do and see, you’re creating an ecosystem of local cooperation.
More than a quarter of Nevadans work in tourism and hospitality, and more than a third of the state’s economy is built on visitors. That means your recommendation to see a state park, eat at a restaurant, or tour a museum will improve nearby communities and help people like you.
