Team Spotlight: Will
Next up for our team spotlight is Account Executive Will Crockett!
Will has worked in travel & tourism for 6 years now, working through just about every level of it- he began at a Downtown Main Street Association (hyper-local tourism organization), worked his way up to the Tupelo, MS Convention & Visitors Bureau (mid-level DMO), then worked at the Tennessee Dept. of Tourist Development (state level DMO) before joining Advance Travel & Tourism 1 year ago.
His favorite thing about working in tourism? The people!
“People who work in tourism are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and so passionate about their destinations. It’s a joy to work with them,” said Crockett.
His favorite place to visit changes often, but Boston, Massachusetts to catch a Red Sox game at Fenway Park is always a favorite. He also loves visiting new places with great food to try.
Outside of work, Will is an avid sports fan- he loves going to Tennessee Titans games. He also enjoys hosting cookouts and barbecues, kayaking, record collecting and spending time with his girlfriend, Catherine, and two dogs, Finley and Zeke.

Visibility used to follow a familiar pattern: search, rankings, clicks, visits. That structure is starting to shift. AI doesn’t just retrieve pages. It assembles responses. Instead of presenting a list of links, it’s interpreting information and building answers. That changes how destinations appear—and whether they appear at all. Being present online is no longer the only requirement.

Clarity is starting to play a different role. Not just in messaging—but in visibility. As AI systems interpret and assemble information, they favor content that’s easy to understand and easy to use. That creates a subtle shift. Destinations compete on clarity and speed—who makes sense fastest gets the decision.
