Description

In this episode of the Destination Marketing Podcast, Adam is joined by Marc Garcia, President, and CEO of Visit Mesa, AZ. Listen to learn how he was able to make his destination the country’s first autism-certified city and his recommendations on providing key stakeholders with education about autism. Also, learn some of the things coming up for Mesa including the largest amateur sports complex in the nation.

"Often when we talk about autism, we are talking about kids. Well, these kids are going to be adults. Is the country ready — is the world ready to provide the services necessary to these folks? Not right now." -Marc Garcia
