Description

We love getting local insights about Raleigh, and it would be hard to find someone with their finger on the pulse of what's happening in Raleigh more than Jessica Holt, the Public Relations and International Tourism Manager at Visit Raleigh. 

In this episode we ask Jess about what she thinks sets Raleigh apart from other cities as a tourist destination, how has Raleigh's tourism landscape evolved over the years what she sees for its future, her must-visit attractions, places to eat and drink, her favorite festivals, what advice she would you give to someone planning their first trip to Raleigh, and much more!
