As Wynwood exits Zika list, Miami CVB proceeds with caution
As Wynwood exits Zika list, Miami CVB proceeds with caution
After months of mostly negative headlines on the Zika front, Miami, and Florida tourism interests at large, received a healthy dose of welcome news on Monday when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discontinued its warning that pregnant women shouldn't visit the Wynwood area.The move came because Wynwood hasn't seen a new Zika transmission since early August.But with Zika, even good news can create a dilemma for tourism promoters, especially as less favorable headlines have been written about nearby Miami Beach, where new transmissions continue to be reported.Notably, destination marketers have to figure out a way to emphasize the positive events in Wynwood while neither downplaying continuing public health concerns related to Zika nor undermining their own credibility.Two weeks ago, at the Florida Governor's Conference on Tourism in Orlando, attendees listened to a seminar from James Donnelly, a senior crisis management director with the public relations firm Ketchum, who praised Visit Florida for how it had dealt with the outbreak."You have to turn your organization from promotional to informational on these things," he said."I think it's being handled exceptionally right now.
