Visit Hot Springs CEO Steve Arrison said, “I’m proud of our marketing team here at VHS and the way they work every day to make visitors, meeting planners and other aware of the fantastic menu of attractions, activities and businesses that Hot Springs has to offer. It’s great to see that our efforts are recognized by this series of international awards.”
