EAST POINT, GA, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The East Point Convention and Visitors Bureau announces an opportunity for community participation in the future of tourism. As part of their ongoing efforts to increase the economic impact of tourism to the City the East Point CVB is inviting East Point businesses and residents to offer their opinions and feedback. This effort is part of a comprehensive research plan the CVB is undertaking to guide its efforts to enhance East Point as a tourism destination.

“East Point is such a very special community and we want to assist in its growth while ensuring it maintains its unique culture and character. We are thrilled to take this step toward increasing the economic viability of the city so that we can enhance both the resident and visitor experience in East Point,” commented Chantel Ross Francois, President of the East Point Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The organization has engaged Mandala Research, a nationally recognized firm with expertise in travel and tourism. Their experience spans collaborations with esteemed brands such as Marriott International, Ritz-Carlton, Tanger Outlets, Macy's, and destinations ranging from Georgia to Florida.

According to Ross Francois, “The insights gathered will directly inform our strategies to increase visitation and improve the visitor experience in 2025 and beyond.”

Tourism has the potential as one of the leading economic drivers for the City of East Point, given its wealth of hotel accommodations, restaurants, culture and shopping located in close proximity to Atlanta Jackson Hartfield Airport.
