Joining us live from Georgia is Mindy Shea from Visit Savannah to talk all things Savannah, with the tourism, culture, historical legacy, local businesses, live music scene, group travel opportunities, how they managed to recover visitors after the pandemic and exciting new developments in Savannah.

Even though Savannah is only a 2 1/2 mile square historic district, they get over 14 million visitors a year. 

"We see our visitors really as our family coming to visit us and our friends not so much as strangers coming into our town and I think that's so much of the charm of the city of Savannah and it's welcoming nature and that everybody feels comfortable here." - Mindy Shea
