Austin is a different type of Texas. It’s not exactly a place where anything goes, but in Austin they invite you to simply come as you are. We initially checked-in on the city as the world was reemerging and working its way back from the pandemic in early 2021, and certainly a lot has changed in the 37 months that have transpired since. So for the latest installment of our “Destination Spotlight” series, during our live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on 24 February 2024, we reconnected with Tom Noonan, CEO of Visit Austin for an update on the area. During our conversation we discussed some of the big events happening annually in Austin, the continued growth in the area as folks relocate there from California, Illinois, New York and elsewhere, the influence of Elon Musk on Austin, its vibrant live music scene, as well as the plethora of things you can do in the city during a visit.
