Carla Pendergraft, Director of Marketing at Waco, Texas, joins the Destination Marketing Podcast to talk about dealing with a sudden tourism change. Topics include the impact of Fixer Upper and Chip and Joanna Gaines, catching up with an influx of visitors, and how Waco has benefitted from those new visitors. 

"The main thing that they help us with is they talk about their love of Waco and convey that to the world. Because of that, people have come to this town and really see it as a tourist destination. Maybe even the most important thing is that locals are starting to look at their town in a more positive way too". - Carla Pendergraft on the impact of Chip and Joanna Gaines on Waco.
