Discover Newport is the non-profit destination management organization dedicated to promoting the City of Newport and its eight surrounding townships in Newport and Bristol Counties, Rhode Island, as a premiere business and leisure travel destination.
Watch the conversation live as it happens or anytime afterward below.
I would you to ask Evan Smith to explain how Discover Newport is funded, and what it’s relationship is to the city and to the state. Another question I have is has their new location proved accessible to as many tourists as it was before it moved to Long Wharf Mall, a place which to me is less than ideal, as this is not a place frequented by tourists.
