Roni Weiss, executive director of Travel Unity, led a session on “Becoming a World Class Destination: It Takes Us All to Welcome All” at the Fred Rogers Center at Saint Vincent College.

The 2025 GO Laurel Highlands Spring Summit was a collaborative forum held at Saint Vincent College that united regional tourism leaders to discuss the intersection of community kindness and economic growth. The event’s centerpiece was a focus on “intentional inclusion,” highlighting how a destination’s global appeal is built by ensuring every member of the community is empowered to welcome visitors of all backgrounds and abilities.
