Walton County Tourism Director Matt Algarin has been appointed to serve on two advisory committees through Destinations International. Algarin, who has been with Walton County Tourism since 2017, was selected to serve on the destination association’s Advocacy and Professional Development committees for 2025.
From shaping new tools and research to overseeing accreditation programs and recommending industry best practices, Algarin will help these committees plan for the future and provide insight on industry issues and opportunities.
The Advocacy Committee works directly with DI staff and industry colleagues to recommend partnerships, best practices and resources to communicate the value and impact of destination organizations to their leadership, stakeholders and the community. The Professional Development Committee creates, provides and reviews session proposals and curates concurrent sessions content for DI’s Annual Convention that is engaging, relevant, and valuable to the industry.
“This is a tremendous opportunity to serve the tourism community and make a difference alongside some of the most talented and influential leaders in our industry,” Algarin said. “I’m honored to serve on these committees and looking forward to sharing my experiences and expertise.”
