| Impact Report | Four Hospitality trainings were conducted this year. Hospitality trainings are conducted in coordination with the Socorro Tourism Council and the Socorro Chamber of Commerce trying to provide individuals knowledge in what the community has to offer folks traveling through. Restaurant, hotel, gas station and anyone with a business is encourage to send staff that have contact with people passing through. The program focuses on hospitality, but also provides information on what there is to do around Socorro County. Participants have expressed a great enthusiasm for the program and often leave saying “I lived here all my life and I didn’t know about that”. Through these trainings we are able to increase the tourism dollars coming into our community by having repeat tourist. |
