“We are extremely excited for Destiny to join the HCVB,” Board President Tom Horst said. “Her knowledge of Highland County, coupled with her impressive professional credentials, makes her uniquely suited to move the HCVB forward. Destiny brings a fresh face and a new perspective to the position, and we expect great success under her leadership.”

“The mission of HCVB is to attract visitors to Highland County through education, promotion and marketing of attractions and activities in the region,” Bryson said. “I am looking forward to the execution of this mission by building a strong web and social media presence, staffing the welcome center with trained volunteers and networking fellow industry directors from around the state.”

HCVB is a Destination Marketing Organization (DMO). The HCVB acts as a one-stop shop for all things related to tourism promotion and the marketing of Highland County. Highland County has become the preferred destination for day trips, weekend getaways and extended vacations for southern Ohio.

“My husband and I returned to the area to raise our three young children around family and lifelong friends in a community we love,” Bryson said. “The goal of HCVB is to improve the economic vitality of our community by asking others to visit, explore and enjoy the many things we enjoy daily.”

If you are interested in volunteering or have upcoming events you would like to share with HCVB, Bryson invites you to contact her by calling (937) 763-7012 or emailing her at visithighlandcounty@yahoo.com.
