Dear Members,
As 2025 wraps up, I thank you for your continued membership and support of Destination DC as we work together to attract more visitors to the nation’s capital. We’re excited for 2026 with a strong citywide calendar and the unique slew of activities and visitation opportunities across DC’s celebration of America’s 250th birthday, major anniversaries and new development. Remember to also check our DC250 microsite and upload your deals and offers to the member extranet.
It’s a great time to celebrate the incredible work of our affiliated charity, which revealed its wonderful rebrand from the American Experience Foundation to NEXTDC this year. Please consider a year-end donation, and know that your gift will help change the lives and careers of DC hospitality students as the organization works to give them Networking, Education, eXperience and Travel opportunities.
Remember to bookmark and share our winter content on washington.org, which highlights the city’s markets, theaters, light displays and sparkling events this holiday season.
Kindly,
Elliott L. Ferguson, II
President & CEO
Destination DC
