Tico has one of the best tourism minds in the United States. I find him to be creative, hardworking, and connected to all parts of the industry. It has been a pleasure of mine to work with him with DMO’s in Lake Charles and New Orleans, and I look forward to our continued relationship now with Tourism Tactics.

One of the most inspirational people in travel, Tico Soto is not only creative and innovative, but passionate and hard working. I’ve watched our business in New Orleans grow year on year largely because of the close working relationship we’ve had with Tico over the years. His natural default is “YES I can!”

Tico totally gets it and that’s invaluable in an industry where we are dependent on our US partners to help us not only meet, but exceed our customer’s expectations.

I have known Tico Soto for many years as business partner. As director of tourism for New Orleans we collaborated closely to create new sales concepts and market the city in the German speaking countries.

From both, a professional and a personal standpoint it always is a pleasure to work together and we were able to lead projects to extraordinary success. I love to confirm that Tico is a man of great integrity, is reliable, conscientious and honest. There a few people I know that are that dedicated as he is, being as passionate as inspiring.
