So the ATID report acknowledges COVID-19 but showed little to no marketing to encourage safe travel to and
within Anaheim. Visit Anaheim should do better at strategizing marketing during shocks to the tourism
industry. There have been an immense amount of subsidies & pro-business policy in this district and the
marketing to remain viable is minimal, so what are we funding? Is the ATID & Visit Anaheim only able to
operate when through welfare entitlements.
Do better, there's no reason why Visit Anaheim should have waited as long as it did for it's principle member,
Disney, to begin marketing COVID safety. shame
