The Southeast Tourism Society (STS) has named the 2012 recipients of their "Forty for the Future" program, which highlights 40 tourism professionals in the United States who are under the age of 40 and have demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities.
According to the STS, these are individuals making their mark in convention and visitors bureaus, destination management organizations (DMOs), lodging, transportation, education and partners of tourism. As several of them work for DMOs that are Simpleview clients, we would like to recognize these rising stars for their contributions to the travel and tourism industry.
