Governor Gavin Newsom has announced the appointment of Stephen Revetria, a San Francisco resident, to the California Travel and Tourism Commission. This appointment highlights Revetria’s extensive experience and leadership within the travel and tourism sector, particularly notable given his past role as chairman of the San Francisco Travel Association in 2014.
Revetria brings a wealth of knowledge to the commission, stemming from his long-standing career in the industry. Currently serving as President of Giants Enterprises since 2010, he has been instrumental in developing and managing large-scale events and hospitality experiences. Giants Enterprises, the entrepreneurial arm of the San Francisco Giants, focuses on leveraging the iconic Oracle Park and the Giants brand to create unique events, further contributing to San Francisco’s appeal as a premier destination.
His dedication to the travel industry extends beyond his role at Giants Enterprises. Revetria is an active member of several influential organizations, including serving as a trustee for the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and a board member for the U.S. Travel Association. These affiliations demonstrate his commitment to promoting travel and tourism at both local and national levels. Furthermore, his position as trustee emeritus of the University of San Francisco Board of Trustees and membership on the Governor’s Advisory Council on Physical Fitness and Mental Well-Being showcase his broader engagement with community and public service.
Revetria’s deep connection to San Francisco’s travel and tourism landscape is underscored by his chairmanship of the San Francisco Travel Association in 2014. During this pivotal year, he played a crucial role in guiding the organization, which is the official destination marketing organization for San Francisco. His leadership during this period would have involved strategic planning, industry collaboration, and promotional efforts aimed at enhancing San Francisco’s tourism appeal and economic impact. This experience makes him exceptionally well-suited to contribute to the California Travel and Tourism Commission, where he can leverage his insights to benefit the entire state.
With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from the University of San Francisco, Revetria possesses a strong foundation in communication and industry knowledge. His appointment to the California Travel and Tourism Commission signifies Governor Newsom’s recognition of his expertise and leadership. As California continues to prioritize its tourism sector, Revetria’s experience, particularly his 2014 chairmanship of the San Francisco Travel Association, positions him as a valuable asset in shaping the state’s travel and tourism strategies and initiatives.
