Travel & Tourism Marketing are extremely pleased to announce they have been appointed as the UK and Ireland Representative Office for Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau as of the 1st of October 2025. The company will be looking after all aspects of travel trade, media and consumer marketing activity in the UK and Ireland.
Jody Hanson, Chief Trade and Marketing Officer commented “We are keen to start working with the Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau team at this exciting time in the city’s development. We are looking forward to the opening of the new Chickasaw Heritage Centre, along with a multitude of destination experiences from visiting Elvis’s birthplace to one of America’s few mead distilleries. Our goal is to support our partners and ensure strong growth with clear messaging to identify Tupelo as destination that warrants staying more than just one night, as part of a fly-drive through Mississippi, the South, and the USA.”
“While Tupelo, Mississippi, is globally recognized as the birthplace of Elvis Presley, it offers so much more than its legendary roots,” said Jennie Bradford Curlee, Deputy Director of the Tupelo Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We are excited to partner with the Travel & Tourism Marketing team to highlight Tupelo’s rich and diverse tourism assets to our leading international market. The opening of the Chickasaw Heritage Center in November 2026 will provide visitors with a powerful opportunity to engage with the Chickasaw story, told from their perspective, in the heart of the Chickasaw Homeland. It’s yet another reason why Tupelo is positively the place for immersive cultural experiences.” – Jennie Bradford, Tupelo CVB
