ARE
ARE EXPECTED BACK IN COURT AT THE END OF THE MONTH. AIR CANADA WELL, YOU KNOW, I LOVE
TAKING YOU OUT AND ABOUT MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY BUT TODAY
WE'RE STAYING IN JUST FOR A
LITTLE BIT WITH OUR OUT AND
ABOUT SPONSOR OF THE SAN DIEGO
TOURISM AUTHORITY. SO I'VE GOT
PRESIDENT CEO JULIE COKER
SHARING SOME OF HER FAVORITE
LOCAL SPOTS. GOOD MORNING,
JULIE. GOOD MORNING. SO YOU I
THINK WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD
JOB SHOWING THAT EVEN DURING
THIS PANDEMIC THERE'S STILL SO
MUCH TO DO IN SAN DIEGO THAT WE
CAN DO SAFELY. SO LET'S START
WITH I THINK BREAKFAST.
ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF MY
FAVORITES AND IT'S ACTUALLY
MINE NEIGHBORHOOD IS I THINK
YOU CAN START YOUR BREAKFAST
RIGHT THERE AT THE PLAZA AND
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GREAT
LITTLE COFFEE SHOPS OR
RESTAURANTS TO ENJOY AND
OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN CERTAINLY
SOCIAL DISTANCE IT'S OUTDOORS
AND SO THERE'S SOMETHING FOR
EVERYONE AND THERE'S ALSO A
PRICE POINT FOR EVERYONE AND
OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS DO IT
SAFELY. WHAT ABOUT FOR
FAMILIES? SO FROM FAMILIES I
THINK YOU CAN SPEND THE DAY
PADDLEBOARDING OR YOU CAN DO
KAYAKING MISSION BAY. CERTAINLY
WE HAVE SOME GREAT MEMBERS
OF OFFERINGS FROM ACTION SPORT
RENTALS TO ACQUIT VENTURES AND
YOU'VE GOT DIFFERENT HALF-DAY
RENTAL OPTIONS OR FOR THE DAY
AND THEN OF COURSE WE CAN'T
FORGET OUR FAVORITES THE SAN
DIEGO ZOO OR THE SAFARI PARK
AND OF COURSE SEAWORLD ALL HAVE
THEIR WELCOMING VISITORS AND
THEY HAVE SAFETY GUIDELINES IN
PLACE AND OF COURSE THEY'RE
OUTDOORS. SO THERE'S SOMETHING
FOR FAMILIES. BUT THEN
OF COURSE IF THERE'S THAT
ROMANTIC DATE THAT YOU'D LIKE
TO DO, YOU CAN CERTAINLY STROLL
THROUGH BALBOA PARK AND HAVE A
PICNIC OR IF YOU'D LIKE YOU CAN
ENJOY A GREAT SUNSET DINNER AT
LA IN LA HOYA. OF COURSE
THERE'S ALWAYS JORGES AT THE
KOSLOF OR RIGHT THERE AT THE
LODGE AT TORREY PINES. SO
THERE'S LOTS TO DO AND THEN FOR
THOSE OF THOSE OF US WHO ARE
LOOKING TO DO SOMETHING IN THE
EVENING, OF COURSE WE HAVE SOME
WONDERFUL ROOFTOP LOUNGES LIKE
THE KNOWLAND THAT YOU CAN
ENJOY. BUT OF COURSE MY
FAVORITE AND I DO IT MYSELF IS
I WANT EVERYONE TO DO A STAY
VACATION WITH MANY LOCAL HOTELS
THAT HAVE GREAT OFFERINGS.
OF COURSE THOSE MISSION BAY,
THE CATAMARAN OR OF COURSE THE
INTERCONTINENTAL WHERE YOU CAN
TAKE IN SOME WONDERFUL
WATERFRONT VIEWS. SO THERE'S
LOTS TO DO WHETHER IT'S A
FAMILY COUPLE GIRLS WEEKEND
BACHELOR WEEKENDS, BACHELORETTE
WEEKENDS. SO SOMETHING FOR
EVERYONE IS CRAZY. I'M OUT AND
ABOUT IN THE COMMUNITY DAILY
AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN TO
GEORGES ON THE COVE NUTS RIGHT
.I STILL WILL HAVE TO HAVE TO
DO IT TOGETHER. I KNOW. WELL
I'M TRYING OUT A NEW PLACE
TONIGHT NOT FOR WORK BUT I'LL
LET YOU KNOW HOW IT IS
CANNONBALL MISSION BAY HAVE YOU
BEEN IT'S LIKE A SUSHI SPOT
THROUGHT OH NICE. NO DEFINITELY
SO I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED. YEAH
AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE MOVING
INTO THE NEXT TIER AND THAT
WILL HELP OF COURSE YOU WRITE
IT WILL YOU KNOW I THINK SAN
DIEGO AND I HAVE DONE A REALLY
GOOD JOB WITH FOLLOWING THE
GUIDELINES AND CERTAINLY MOVING
IN OUT OF THE PURPLE'S HERE AND
INTO THE RED TIER WILL GIVE US
MORE DINING OPTIONS ACTIVITIES
AND ATTRACTIONS WILL HAVE MUCH
MORE CAPACITY AND CERTAINLY
WILL CONTINUE TO BE SAFE. BUT
IT'LL REALLY BE A CRUCIAL PIECE
AND OF COURSE FOR OUR INDUSTRY
AS WE MOVE ALONG THAT MEETINGS
AND CONVENTION PIECE, WE'D LIKE
TO EVENTUALLY GET THERE AND
THAT WILL OF COURSE BRING MORE
PEOPLE BACK TO WORK AND HELP
ALL OF THE HELP ALL OF SAN VAGO
AND THIS IS SOMETHING IT'S
IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE
I COVERED A BUSINESS THE OTHER
DAY IN CHULA VISTA AND THERE
ARE THEY ARE MORE ON THE
CONSERVATIVE SIDE WITH PEOPLE
HEADING OUT AND THEY JUST
OPENED AND THEY NEED THAT WORD
OF MOUTH LIKE HEY, WE'RE OPEN,
WE'RE SAFE. IT'S OK TO COME ON
OUT AND DISTANCE AND STILL HAVE
A GOOD TIME DEFINITELY. YOU
KNOW I MEAN I THINK WE'RE
OBVIOUSLY ALL OF US HAVE BEEN
IMPACTED BY COVID AND I'M SURE
AT THIS POINT SOMEONE KNOWS
EITHER SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY
OR CLOSE MEMBERS. SO WE'RE ALL
BEING VERY RESPONSE ABLE AND
DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND
MANY MORE HAVE BEEN VACCINATED
NOW BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BALANCE
THAT WITH THE ECONOMY AND WE
HAVE CLOSE TO FIFTY THOUSAND
HOSPITALITY WORKERS THAT ARE
STILL NOT EMPLOYED AND WE NEED
TO FIND A WAY TO GET THEM BACK
INTO THE WORKFORCE AND THE WAY
FOR OUR INDUSTRY TO DO THAT IS
TO NOT ONLY BE OPEN FOR LEISURE
BUT ALSO TO BE ABLE TO BE OPEN
FOR MEETINGS AND CONVENTIONS
AND WE CERTAINLY KNOW THAT WE
CAN'T OPEN FOR LARGE CONTROLLED
GATHERINGS YET. BUT EVEN IF WE
WERE TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND
HAVE GUIDELINES FOR SMALL
MEETINGS THAT WOULD CERTAINLY
HELP MOVE US ALONG. BUT AS WE
MOVE THROUGH THE TIERS, I'M
CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO
DO THAT ALL AND WE'LL BE ABLE
TO DO THAT ALL SAFELY. BUT MOST
IMPORTANTLY, WE ALL NEED TO DO
OUR PART. JULIE, I MET YOU IN
PERSON NOT TOO LONG AGO SO IT'S
NICE TO SEE YOU VIRTUALLY
WORKING PEOPLE GO FOR MORE
INFORMATION FOR SAN DIEGO
TOURISM. ABSOLUTELY. SAN DIEGO
DOUG AND THEN ALSO CBS8
DOTCOM'S OUT AND ABOUT AND ALL
MY SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES. I'LL
GIVE YOU SOME TIPS ON WHAT
