May was a second consecutive month of strong media coverage and notable accolades for San Antonio. This month, Esquire recommended San Antonio as one of the top five alternatives for Americans craving an international feel.
The exposure results from hosting the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show were stronger than originally anticipated with more airtime and larger earned media value than initially planned. In total, nearly an hour of the show was devoted to highlighting San Antonio’s wide range of offerings including the culinary scene, Fiesta, outdoor adventure, new developments and history and culture.
