“The SMCVB won the first place People’s Choice Award and a Judges’ Choice Award for tourism promotion, the first place People’s Choice Award for video, and a second place People’s Choice Award for advertising,” stated a press release.
“I’m very proud of our team and the work they’ve produced this year,” said Rebecca Ybarra-Ramirez, Convention & Visitor Bureau Director in a press release. “We are particularly excited to win two awards for our pet-friendly campaign.”
The Bureau’s pet campaign emphasized the pet-friendly aspects of San Marcos, according to the press release.
