Celebrating National Tourism Week, this luncheon is held at the
beginning of travel season to remind Vallejo and other area
communities about the economic benefits of the travel and tourism
industry and to install the non-profit organization’s new officers
and directors.
Visit Vallejo’s special guest speaker at this year’s event is
Seamus Murphy. Seamus is the Executive Director of San Francisco
Bay Ferry, a public ferry operator offering daily service
connecting the cities of Alameda, Oakland, Richmond, San Francisco,
South San Francisco, and Vallejo using the nation’s cleanest
high-speed, high-capacity fleet. Mr. Murphy sits on the Interferry
Board of Directors, the California Transit Association Executive
Committee, and the California Transit Transformation Task
Force.
“We are thrilled and honored to have Seamus as our keynote
speaker for this year’s luncheon,” said Mike Browne, President
& CEO of Visit Vallejo.” Vallejo is excited about working more
closely with the SF Bay Ferry on attracting visitors from San
Francisco for special events like the Pista Sa Nayon, the Dock of
Bay Concert on Mare Island and the Vallejo Waterfront Weekend in
the fall.
At their May 14 meeting, the Vallejo City Council issued a
proclamation designating May as Tourism month in Vallejo. The rest
of the nation will be marking the occasion as well during National
Tourism Week, May 19-25.
Browne added, “More travel means more jobs (Tourism is Vallejo’s
#2 industry) and needed revenues for a healthier Vallejo.”
Presenting sponsors for this year’s Tourism Luncheon are
California Forever, Mare Island Co., Recology Vallejo, JD Miller
CPA, Krystle Properties Management, Napa River Realty, Regency Inn,
Skyview Memorial Lawn, Touro University, and V-Town Farms. The
event begins at 11:00 a.m. with a reception followed by lunch and
the guest speaker.
Reservations are required and seating is limited. Tickets are
$60 and are available online at www.visitvallejo.com/tourism-2024
