AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Airport & Premium Travel: Southwest is launching its first airport lounges—starting late 2027—with four locations already under construction at Austin, Baltimore, Honolulu and Nashville, in partnership with Chase and tied to a new co-branded credit card. Hospitality & Hotels: White Lodging earned a top guest-satisfaction spot in J.D. Power’s 2026 benchmark for third-party hotel management, a win that matters for travelers booking Tennessee stays. Theme Parks & Dolly Parton Tourism: Dollywood will announce plans Wednesday to honor Dolly Parton’s legacy across its parks and resorts, with memorial stands already in place—another reason to plan a Smokies trip soon. Family-Friendly Events: The White Lightning Trail Festival returns Sept. 19 in Cumberland Gap, celebrating Appalachian moonshine heritage with music, vendors, contests and rides. Road-Trip Planning: East Tennessee agencies are gearing up for heavier traffic around Tennessee’s home opener, with TDOT HELP trucks staged across Knoxville and major interstates. Community & Giving: Lifeline Blood Services says Tennessee blood supplies are dangerously low and is urging donations during its September blood drive push.
