Mark Calitri speaks about Owensboro Kentucky:  CVB continues to thrive!

"Brand USA's international campaign is valuable to Owensboro because Brand USA's marketing expertise reaches millions of new visitors throughout the world," Calitri said. "You just can't buy that type of national and international exposure and we are going to capitalize on it."

Claude Bacon, vice president of sales, e-commerce and administration for Owensboro-based LinGate Hospitality, which operates the Holiday Inn and Courtyard by Marriott, said 2018 had "positive momentum" for those hotels.

"We see that positive momentum continuing in 2019," he said.

But Bacon said, "New hotel supply in the market could affect occupancy rates."
