Our Embracing Diversity webinar series creates space for honest conversation that uplifts diverse voices, shares the lived experience of New Yorkers of all ethnicities, promotes allyship and accountability within NYC & Company and our membership, and builds meaningful alliances across our industry.
In our last episode, we highlighted the Latino community in NYC—their offerings to businesses and consumers and contributions to the City at large.
Our focus on the Latino community continues with our next episode, Being Latino in the Tourism Industry. In this webinar, we will delve into the stories of three Latino tourism professionals and how they advocate for their communities while selling Latino-oriented experiences. Additionally, Eric Ramos of Big Apple Walks will share a neighborhood spotlight on East Harlem, also known as El Barrio, and Ráfael Sanchez of the Repertorio Español will discuss the significance of Latin American, Spanish and Hispanic American theater.
