Mobile is a tourist destination, and travel is back. During this episode, listeners can learn about the hospitality and tourism industry in Mobile. David Clark, president and CEO of Visit Mobile, serves as president of the University of South Alabama Hospitality and Tourism Management Advisory Board Executive Committee. He has more than 30 years of experience in the industry. Clark says that South’s prominent location along the Gulf Coast provides students with unique exposure to the industry. The University is located in a tourism mecca. Between Mobile and Baldwin Counties, there are more than 83,000 travel and tourism jobs that service 10 million visitors annually. Clark shares exciting news, including a new cruise ship that will offer six to eight-day cruises to Mexico, Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas from the Mobile Cruise Port. Cultural tourism is booming across the nation, and there is progress to create a public touring experience of Africatown. Clark says their team plans to launch this cultural experience nationally in 2023.
