Steve serves as the President of Visit Pensacola, whose mission is to “Lead. Connect. Collaborate. Communicate” as they support the community vision of tourism by serving as the central body responsible for building tourism as an economic engine for the community. In this role, Visit Pensacola functions to lead efforts directly related to the attraction and retention of visitors to our community and collaborates with other organizations with niche interests related to this mission.

Prior to coming to Pensacola in March 2013, Hayes served as the executive vice president of Visit Tampa Bay, the official destination marketing organization for Tampa, Florida, and contributed to successful campaigns to host the 2012 Republican National Convention and Super Bowl XXXV. Steve began his career in the tourism industry in 1985 with the Greater Peoria Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and joined Visit Tampa Bay in 1987. He worked in sales and marketing roles prior to becoming executive vice president in 1999.                 

The Chat Series is a chance to sit down in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and chat with local leaders about issues affecting your community. The goal is to keep members informed about matters that affect the Commercial Real Estate industry.
