Paulette Hicks is an energetic, passionate, and highly driven manager. She is noted for achieving results by executing solid and focused plans. Her 27 years of experience as a successful manager within the Saint John Business Community has been recognized by her peers in receiving the President's Award by Tourism Saint John and nationally with the Hotel Association of Canada, HAC Humanitarian Award, and 2016 Women of Distinction YWCA. She has successfully managed the Delta Saint John, which includes the largest 4-star convention hotel18,000 square feet of prime conference space in Saint John, New Brunswick. The complex is owned and operated by Slate REIT. Paulette is highly experienced with exceptional strength in delivering financial results by revenue-generating strategies combined with well-managed margins and cost controls. She is an engaged manager who leads her team in a direct and clear fashion. She strives to achieve an environment that consistently delivers a positive experience meaningful to guests with empowered employees. Ms. Hicks is committed to developing and mentoring employees and attracting top talent to the company. As a high honors graduate of the Hospitality & Tourism program from Seneca College, she continues to enhance her education by working with the NB Community College and University of New Brunswick Saint John Hospitality Programs. Ms. Hicks has invested in the growth of the destination with her commitment to implementing the Destination Marketing Fee, adding an additional $800,000 annually in marketing dollars for the Saint John region. Ms. Hicks is community-minded and sincerely invests her talents and time into many initiatives, particularly poverty reduction. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Paulette Hicks, CEO of Envision Saint John, about the amazing feat of successful inter-organizational collaboration she has pulled off in just a few short months. The regional growth agency she heads has embraced their new model of collaboration, and Paulette describes some of the creative promotions that they have already executed and seen successful results from and how they plan to build on those results in the future. What You Will Learn in this Episode: How Paulette moved from hotel management into destination marketing Lessons learned from starting a new destination marketing agency in the middle of a pandemic Why Envision Saint John wanted to go beyond the borders of the city and involve neighboring municipalities Paulette's advice for engaging multiple stakeholders in new and bold initiatives How cultivating a growth mindset has helped move Envision Saint John forward and align the stakeholders Some of the creative approaches Envision Saint John is taking in terms of messaging and programming including collaborating on a specially written song by local musicians The fantastic response they have had to their community handbook project and how they personalized them for different visitor groups Paulette's plans for building on the incredible success of the past 15 months and how Envision Saint John see the future of tourism in their region Aligning with Partners Knitting the community together was an important theme for Paulette as she built Envision Saint John. In this episode, she discusses how she was able to go beyond the city's borders and involve other municipalities in her organization's mission to attract more people to the area. The new agency brought in three legacy agencies in Saint John, which separated out property, business, and tourism under one umbrella, added a further five municipalities and created an agency that aligned around four central pillars of visitors, residents, business investment, and students. Paulette is committed to a full singular focus on growth for her entire region and has been doing a tremendous amount of work around strategy and collaboration to ensure that they're driving revenue and defining their brand. Growth and Abundance Growth mindset and abundance mindset are the terms that defined Paulette's vision of building on the impetus of Envision Saint John's first year. Her team and partners took those philosophies to heart when considering their past performance and where they want to be in five, 10, 15, and 25 years, as well as how they could create a community legacy so the young people of the area could build a life locally. Paulette took a deliberate and very thoughtful approach by listening to all the stakeholders in all the municipalities — including mayors, and town councils, to build a prospectus that they could present to tourism operators, businesses operators, entrepreneurs, and residents to ensure global buy-in for their plans. The overarching theme of being stronger together galvanized everyone to work hard for the future. Creative Collaborations Paulette also describes some of the “risky, bold, and different” collaborations that Envision Saint John set up, including an amazingly creative collaboration with high-profile local band Tomato/Tomato that highlighted all the things that local people loved about the area in a song which became the anthem of summer 2021. She also shares how they created a series of community handbooks personalized for the visitor and how the collaborations and campaigns started in 2021 will carry the organization forward into 2022 and beyond.

Genomic testing is underway to determine whether the Omicron variant has spread amongst other passengers onboard a flight from Dubai to Auckland. At least two other passengers onboard the flight, which landed last Friday in Auckland before going on to MIQ in Christchurch, have since tested positive although one has the Delta variant. It comes as 76 new cases of Covid-19 were recorded today including 47 in Auckland, 15 in the Waikato, 10 in the Bay of Plenty, three in Taranaki and one in the Lakes district. Fifty one people are in hospital and five are in intensive care. Delta hit businesses hard in 2021, and now Omicron is bringing fears of more restrictions. While data on the new variant remains scarce for now, hospitality and tourism operators say if Delta is anything to go by they are in for another grinding year. Nick Truebridge has the details.

Bootleg Avocado Presents...The Resurgence of Cannabis Hospitality & Tourism The world is full of amazing places, but not all of them are legal to travel to with a grinder in your back pocket. Cannabis hospitality encompasses the full spectrum of hospitality, from resorts and hotels to restaurants and events. The industry provides a wide range of services to help guests enter the cannabis market successfully, safely, and legally. Cannabis hospitality and tourism opportunities are ever-expanding in states where cannabis has been legalized, which includes California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, and Vermont. Cannabis hospitality runs the gambit from B&Bs to high-end resorts. Many cannabis companies offer special services such as cannabis cooking classes and spa treatments designed to appeal to potential guests who want to smoke or eat their way through a particular state. Special thanks to our panelists: - Amy Cirincione O'Connor, Founder & Chief People Officer, Humboldt Bay Social Club - Esti & Federica, Brand & Communications Manager, Dr. Dou Social Club - Brian Applegarth, President & Founder, The Cannabis Travel Association International, Cultivar Strategies

While most Asian borders remain locked, South Koreans are heading off on summer holidays to European destinations. They are also booking ahead for Lunar New Year 2022. So what are the reasons behind this unexpected renaissance in one of Asia's largest outbound travel markets? This week, Gary and Hannah welcome Dr Jaeyeon Choe, Visiting Professor at the School of Hospitality & Tourism at Hue University, Vietnam, and a sustainable tourism consultant for Insita Bali, Indonesia. Jaeyeon discusses recent innovations in domestic tourism, including "one-month stay" packages, camping and outdoor cooking tutorials. Now, with an accelerating vaccination rate, Koreans are eager to travel overseas once more. Ordinarily, this time of year would see large numbers of summer vacationers flying to South East Asian destinations, so will ASEAN's allure remain in future? [Spoiler Alert: Vietnam and the Philippines are hot picks.] We also talk about innovative booking trends, such as flexible packages and gamified TV travel promotions, an ongoing travel agency revival - and the rekindled passion for travel among Korean honeymooners.

Lauren worked as a Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher, teaching courses in Education & Training, Human Services and Hospitality & Tourism. She now puts on the website, Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT). Which is the go-to platform created by teachers, for teachers to access the community, content, and tools they need to teach at their best.SHOWNOTES:•  So, I actually left education completely for a while, and I worked for child protective services for five years, which was a great experience and actually ended up being important when I became a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher, So I reinstated my teaching certificate after that, and I decided to get certified in Family and Consumer Sciences as well, in Texas, once you get your teaching certificate and you have the PPR, which is what we call in Texas, is professional pedagogy and responsibility for whatever grade levels. I was certified for Early Childhood through 12th grade, so I could teach any grade level. (2:32)•  So I've probably taught 15 or 20 different courses within family consumer sciences, so that's my history with teaching, and then as I became a stay-at-home mom, I found that when I created these resources and put them up on Teachers Pay Teachers, I was getting good response and found that this was becoming kind of a side hustle to my stay-at-home mom life, so it's just grown over the last several years, and I'm just trying to help the teachers in the classrooms the way that I wanted that help when I first started. (4:59)•  It started with just posting the things that I would make in my classroom, so when I first started, I couldn't find very much on the internet as far as resources, I was pulling from textbooks, and there was never a textbook that matched what my class was actually teaching it was all. I'd have to pick and choose and kind of puzzle piece it together, so I started making my own things, and then when I first found Teachers Pay Teachers, I would put those things on there. (9:41)•  I want to really balance trying to make this my job really, with also helping teachers and giving them what they need. Because they need it in the classroom, but I also need their ideas on what to make for them, and try to find a balance between those two things. But, there's a lot more ways that I could expand this, and I hope to do so in the future. I could create other products for family consumer sciences teachers that I've been looking into on Etsy, there's more ways to expand on social media that could help spread the word.
