Local News | Marilyn Mosby asks to travel during home detention to promote Mahogany Elite consulting company

The federal probation office opposes the request because its policies prohibit travel during the first two months of a defendant’s supervised release, according to the filing.

Mosby, 44, is serving one year on home detention and two additional years of probation, her sentence after being convicted of perjury and mortgage fraud. Separate federal juries found Mosby guilty of the charges, agreeing with prosecutors that she lied to withdraw money from her city retirement account early and then submitted a false “gift letter” when she bought the second of two Florida vacation properties with the money.

Mosby began her electronic monitoring on June 20, after a brief delay because of the death of her grandmother in Massachusetts.

Now, Mosby wants to travel to New Orleans for a paid contract position at the Essence Festival of Culture. Her lawyer, Federal Public Defender James Wyda, wrote that the opportunity may help connect her with other speaking engagements.

“This event is crucial to advancing Ms. Mosby’s consulting company, Mahogany Elite Enterprises, LLC,” Wyda wrote. “Through this company, Ms. Mosby will be offering her services to speak on issues of race, justice, and equality impacting black women. Her background and expertise as a former State’s Attorney in Baltimore make her an ideal speaker to address these issues confronting black women.”

Black Star Network offered Mosby a position as a legal contributor covering the “Essence Community Impact Hub” program at the festival on July 6 and 7, Wyda wrote. The program will include a live podcast on the empowerment of Black women and other discussions about civil rights activism and economic empowerment, he wrote.

Mosby will receive a fee and a stipend from the Global Black Economic Forum for travel and lodging expenses, according to the motion.

While on home detention, Mosby is restricted to her residence except for work, education, religious services, medical treatment, child care or other activities approved by her probation officer. Wyda said the speaking engagement is an employment opportunity that Mosby should not have to miss.

“In particular, the Essence Festival (one of the largest and most influential African-American festivals in the country) will give her a platform to share her experience and insights with a broader audience, which in turn will likely lead to more paid speaking engagements for her business,” Wyda wrote.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the request.

Mosby launched multiple “Mahogany Elite” businesses while she still was the city’s top prosecutor. The revelation that she had started the businesses during her term sparked intense scrutiny, and one of the companies, Mahogany Elite Travel, ultimately came to be part of her trial on perjury charges in November.

Prosecutors charged that Mosby falsely claimed to have suffered an “adverse financial consequence” related to the coronavirus pandemic in order to withdraw about $80,000 from her city retirement account early under the CARES Act, emergency legislation passed to ease the economic damage of the health crisis.

Mosby’s defense team argued that she qualified for the withdrawals because the travel company she planned to launch in 2020 had to be scrapped during the pandemic. The government countered that the business had no customers, income or records and effectively did not exist. Jurors found Mosby guilty of lying on the withdrawal forms.

At Mosby’s second trial, prosecutors alleged she made a series of false statements when she used the retirement withdrawals to purchase two Florida vacation properties: an eight-bedroom house near Disney World and a condo on the Gulf Coast.

Jurors acquitted Mosby of one count of mortgage fraud, related to the house near Disney, but found her guilty of the second count. The jury indicated that it found Mosby submitted a false “gift letter” claiming her then-husband, Baltimore City Council President Nick Mosby, would provide $5,000 to help her close on the condo.

U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby spared Mosby prison time at her sentencing last month , overruling a request from prosecutors and federal sentencing guidelines that called for a short prison term.

Mosby is also appealing her convictions to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

How to Start a Tourism Business from Scratch

Dreaming of starting your own tourism business? Imagine leading exciting tours, sharing beautiful destinations with others, and building a business around your love of travel. But how do you begin?

In this guide, we'll show you the essential steps to get your tourism business off the ground. We'll explore practical strategies and key considerations to help you turn your passion for travel into a successful business venture. Get ready to embark on an entrepreneurial journey and learn how to start your tourism business, one step at a time.

1. Start with Market Research

Conduct thorough market research to identify your target audience, competition, and potential niches in the tourism industry.

Market research helps tourism businesses identify their target markets. This involves understanding potential customers' demographics, interests, and preferences.

For example, research may reveal that a particular destination is popular among adventure-seeking millennials, while another attracts retirees looking for relaxation.

Here's how to research the market:

• Identify Target Audience : Determine the demographics, interests, and travel preferences of potential customers.
• Utilize Online Tools : Use Google Trends, social media insights, and travel forums for data on popular destinations and trends.
• Analyze Competitors : Research competitors’ offerings, strengths, weaknesses, and customer reviews.
• Attend Trade Shows : Gain insights into industry trends and network with professionals.
• Test Concepts : Run pilot tours and gather feedback before full-scale launch.

2. Create a Business Plan

Create your own business plan from your market research. What should it include? A comprehensive tour business plan outlining your business goals, strategies, financial projections, and marketing strategies.  

Create your own tour business plan with these steps:

• Set Clear Goals : Outline specific, measurable objectives for your business.
• Outline Strategies : Define key strategies for operations, customer service, and tour development.
• Financial Projections : Include startup costs, revenue forecasts, and break-even analysis.
• Marketing Plan : Identify your target audience and marketing channels.
• Market Analysis : Summarize findings about customer needs and competitors.
• Operational Details : Describe daily operations, staffing, and tour schedules.
• Risk Management : Identify potential risks and mitigation strategies.
• Sustainability Practices : If relevant, include eco-friendly operational plans.
• Funding Needs : Detail required capital and potential funding sources.
• Exit Strategy : Plan for future business transitions or sale.

3. Choose a Legal Structure

Choosing the right legal structure for a tourism business is crucial. Sole proprietorships and partnerships are simpler but have personal liability.

LLCs offer balance, while corporations provide extensive liability protection, but involve complexity.

Here's what you can do.

• Evaluate Liability and Complexity : Consider sole proprietorships and partnerships for simplicity with personal liability, LLCs for balanced liability protection and ease of operation, and corporations for extensive liability protection but with more complexity.
• Assess Ownership and Taxes : Choose a structure based on the number of owners, preferred tax treatment, and financial practices.
• Plan for Growth : Select a structure that aligns with your future growth plans and scalability.
• Understand Legal Implications : Recognize how each structure affects legal responsibilities and operational procedures.
• Consult Experts : Seek advice from legal and financial professionals to make an informed decision.

4. Obtain Business Licenses and Permits

Obtain the necessary licenses and permits required for your tourism business, which may vary by location and the type of services you offer.

• Research Local Requirements : Investigate the specific licenses and permits required in your area and for the type of tourism services you plan to offer.
• Check with Government Agencies : Contact local, state, and federal agencies to understand all regulatory requirements.
• Prepare Documentation : Gather all necessary documents, such as identification, business plans, and insurance proof, required for the application process.
• Apply in a Timely Manner : Submit your application well before your planned start date to avoid any delays in launching your business.
• Stay Updated on Renewals : Keep track of expiration dates and renew licenses and permits as needed to ensure continuous compliance.

These steps help ensure that your tourism business meets all legal requirements and operates smoothly.

5. Select a Location

Choosing the right location for a tourism business is crucial. It can affect visibility, accessibility, and target customers.

Here are some points to consider:

• Consider Proximity to Attractions : Select a location close to popular tourist destinations or areas of interest to attract more customers.
• Evaluate Accessibility and Visibility : Ensure the location is easily accessible by public transport or has ample parking, and is visible and easy to find for tourists.
• Understand Local Regulations : Research local zoning laws and regulations to ensure your business can operate smoothly in the chosen area.

6. Acquire Resources

Secure the necessary resources, such as vehicles, equipment, technology, and skilled staff, to deliver your services effectively.

• Invest in Essential Equipment : Invest in the necessary vehicles, equipment, and technology tailored to the type of tours or services you offer.
• Hire Qualified Staff : Recruit skilled and experienced staff to ensure high-quality service delivery.
• Utilize Efficient Technology : Adopt relevant technology solutions for bookings, operations, and customer management to streamline your business processes.

7. Develop Branding

Develop a strong brand identity, including a memorable name, logo, and tagline that resonates with your target audience. Strong brands not only attracts customers but also foster loyalty and trust.

• Craft a Unique Brand Identity : Select a name, logo, and tagline that embody your business's spirit and appeal to your target market. Tools like Canva for design, Shopify 's Business Name Generator for name ideas, and Looka for logo creation can be very helpful.
• Ensure Brand Consistency : Maintain a uniform brand appearance and tone across all platforms. Use tools like Adobe Spark for creating consistent marketing materials and Buffer for cohesive social media management.
• Leverage Brand in Marketing Strategies : Base your marketing efforts on your brand identity to strengthen your market presence. Tools like Hootsuite for social media management and Mailchimp for email marketing can integrate your branding into various marketing channels effectively.

Branding is the guiding compass that will shape your marketing strategies, customer interactions, and the overall reputation of the business in the competitive world of tourism.

8. Boost Online Presence

Create a professional website and establish a strong online presence through social media, online advertising, and search engine optimization (SEO).

• Create a User-Friendly Booking Website : Use platforms like WordPress or Squarespace to build a website that showcases your tours, optimized for mobile users.
• Use Social Media Wisely :
• Instagram & Pinterest : Post beautiful photos and videos of destinations.
• Facebook : Share updates and ads, and engage with customers.
• Twitter : Tweet quick updates and respond to customer inquiries.
• YouTube : Upload virtual tours and customer testimonials.
• Optimize for Local Search Engines (SEO) : Improve your website's ranking in local search results, like 'near-me' searches, by using relevant keywords and creating quality content.
• Try Online Advertising : Use Google Ads for targeted advertising to reach potential clients.
• Keep Content Fresh : Regularly update your website and social media with new and engaging content.

9. Expand Marketing Strategies

Implement marketing strategies to attract tourists, such as content marketing, partnerships with travel agencies, and targeted advertising.

• Engage in Content Marketing : Develop and share engaging content such as travel blogs, videos, and social media posts that highlight your tours and destinations.
• Collaborate with Travel Agencies and Resellers : Build partnerships with travel agencies and tour resellers to expand your market reach and visibility.
• Utilize Targeted Advertising : Employ targeted online advertising through platforms like Google Ads and social media to attract specific customer demographics.

• Connect with Tour Affiliates : Work with affiliate marketers who can promote your tours to their audiences for a commission. TicketingHub gives this option to tour operators and even enables resellers to track their own bookings in a dashboard.

• Design Attractive Itineraries : Create engaging tour itineraries that cover key attractions and unique experiences.
• Set Competitive Pricing : Determine pricing that offers value to customers while remaining competitive in the market.
• Define Package Inclusions : Clearly specify what is included in each package, such as meals, transportation, and entry fees.
• Focus on Customer Experience : Ensure each tour package offers a memorable and satisfying customer experience.

11. Choose a Booking and Reservation System

Set up an efficient booking and reservation system to manage bookings, payments, and customer information.

Why do you need a booking system?

• Streamline Bookings and Payments : Automates the booking process, making it easier for customers to book tours and for businesses to manage payments.
• Organize Customer Information : Centralizes customer data, enabling better customer relationship management and personalized service.
• Improve Operational Efficiency : Reduces manual workload, minimizes errors, and enhances overall operational productivity.

12. Develop Customer Service Guidelines

Develop excellent customer service protocols to ensure tourists have a positive experience and receive timely support. Tourism businesses strive to provide personalized assistance to travelers.

This involves understanding the unique needs and preferences of each customer and tailoring services accordingly.

Here are suggestions for what these protocols could include:

• Personalized Interaction : Training staff to recognize and adapt to individual customer preferences, tailoring services like tour customization accordingly.
• Prompt Communication : Establish standards for swift and clear communication with customers across various channels (email, phone, social media).
• Comprehensive Training for Staff : Develop thorough training programs focusing on customer interaction, problem-solving, and knowledge about destinations and services offered.

Focus on creating appealing tour packages, setting up an easy booking system, and building a strong brand and online presence. Don't forget the importance of having a skilled team and providing excellent customer service to make each tourist's experience memorable.

CDOT makes substantial progress ahead of US 50 Blue Mesa Middle Bridge limited opening

Travel advisory.

Montrose, Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties — The Colorado Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the limited opening of the US 50 Blue Mesa Middle Bridge ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend. With the first phase of repairs complete, emergency vehicles and those in smaller vehicles can start crossing over the US 50 Middle Bridge at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 3. County Road 26 will remain open and maintained as a detour, and Kebler Pass is now open as well, as a seasonal route.

“CDOT anticipates delivering on our goal of opening the Blue Mesa Middle Bridge to limited traffic ahead of July 4,” said CDOT Executive Director Shoshana Lew. “We continue to work towards completing needed repairs ahead of winter. Over the course of the holiday weekend, the bridge will be open for 12 hours a day, which we hope encourages tourism in this area as these communities are still very much open for business. Starting on July 8, we will settle into a twice-a-day opening schedule to allow crews to continue to work on repairs throughout the day.”

For the long holiday weekend, one lane will be open on the bridge, and pilot cars, at slow speeds, will lead single-direction traffic between the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. through Sunday, July 7. After the long holiday weekend, beginning Monday, July 8, the bridge will be open, and pilot cars will lead single-direction traffic each day from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and again from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

CDOT leadership will host an in-person and virtual public meeting on Tuesday, July 2, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Gunnison County Courthouse, 200 E. Virginia Ave., on the second floor to outline the limited opening schedule and discuss next steps for the continued bridge repairs. To join the meeting online, go to bit.ly/BlueMesaBridge .

Members of CDOT’s team will be out on Wednesday morning to provide refreshments and cookies to the motorists lined up at the closure points starting at 6:30 a.m. as a show of appreciation.

Crews have completed the first stage of critical repairs on the bottom flange, the horizontal part of a l-shaped beam, of the US 50 Middle Bridge. Working from a temporary scaffolding suspended from the side of the bridge, crews began the process of bolting four plates in four locations on Wednesday, June 12. This first phase of the repair process addressed areas that posed an imminent risk to structural integrity. Each plate location’s assembly is about 23 feet long, 2 ½ feet wide and 2 ½ inches thick, weighing approximately 9,000 pounds. More than 200 bolts were needed to secure each plate in place.

Currently, crews are modifying the expansion joints on the bridge to prepare for traffic on July 3. This weekend, crews will be preparing for quick deck access so that repairs can begin on the top flange on July 8, with bottom flange global repairs starting in August 2024.

Lake Fork Bridge Lane Closures

As CDOT works toward the limited opening of the US 50 Blue Mesa Middle Bridge, crews are now looking at potential repair work for the Lake Fork Bridge, located on the west side of Sapinero, and anticipate lane closures this weekend. Crews will be installing strain gauge sensors, which will monitor the effect of traffic loading on the structure and will be used to analyze effects of construction activities, such as initial milling operations as crews move into the inspection and repair phases of the Lake Fork Bridge. CDOT is currently planning single lane closures on the Lake Fork Bridge on Friday, June 28 through Monday, July 1 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to install the sensors.

Detour Routes:

County Road 26 continues to serve as a bypass around the bridge closure for travel between Gunnison and Montrose. This detour route is open for seven releases in each direction every day except Wednesdays when there are five releases in each direction. Each Wednesday there is a midday closure to allow crews to safely make repairs to the road, when staff and materials are available. The State of Colorado legal maximum vehicle dimensions and weights will be enforced. This allows trailers and heavier commercial vehicles to use the bypass.

Vehicles traveling through Colorado should utilize the alternate state highway detours to the north and south (Interstate 70 and US Highway 160) instead of County Road 26 if possible. To maintain the local access route as a viable, safe bypass, traffic is managed using pilot vehicles. It is a high mountain native surface and gravel road.

Along with County Road 26, Kebler Pass is now open for the season to help ease travel through the area. Kebler Pass restrictions include no vehicles over 30,000 pounds, no vehicles longer than 50 feet and no hazardous materials.

Starting June 26, Gunnison CR 26 will allow overweight and over-width traffic. These loads, in excess of 85,000 pounds and/or over 8 1⁄2 feet in width and/or 14 1⁄2 feet in height and/or truck tractor semitrailer combinations that exceed 70 feet, require special permitting on both state and County roads. Oversize-Overweight vehicles are required to comply with state regulations found at: https://leg.colorado.gov/content/size-and-weight-limitations

Extra-Legal permits (permit) must be obtained prior to entry into Colorado or prior to movement of the vehicle/load. In order to travel CR 26 both state and County permits must be obtained. At a minimum, obtaining the approved permit by noon the day before the movement of the vehicle/load should be followed to ensure that the trip can proceed. These vehicles will proceed during the regularly scheduled release times.

Travel will only be permitted during the following release times on only Wednesdays for Oversize-Overweight loads.

Eastbound release times are 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. and westbound release times are 7:30 and 9:30 a.m. Each traffic release window is 30 minutes.

For state permits contact the Colorado Department of Transportation at 1-800-350-3765 or through https://coopr.codot.gov/

For County permits contact Gunnison County Public Works at 970-641-0044 or email [email protected] or online at https://gunnisoncounty.org/157/Public-Works .

A hotline and email address continue to be available to assist customers with questions about the local access route and US 50 bridge closure. Anyone with questions can reach out via 970-648-4423 or [email protected] . Calls are closely monitored and receive a prompt reply. Information is also available on the project website at bit.ly/us50bridge . Travelers should refer to COtrip.org or the smartphone COtrip Planner app to plan an alternate route.

Travel Impacts

• US 50 is closed between Montrose and Gunnison

Cape May horse dies while pulling tourist carriage; what we know

A Percheron draft horse used for sightseeing tours of Victorian Cape May  died earlier this week while pulling a carriage , published reports say.

Here’s what we know about the death of the horse named Ice.

Cape May carriage horse dies

The horse was used by the  Cape May Carriage Company .

Company owner Chantel Semanchik said Ice  collapsed twice Thursday .

Weather was not believed to be a factor in Ice’s death because temperatures were cool along the shore Thursday night.

Semanchik believes Ice, who previously worked pulling carriages in New York City, had a heart attack.

A necropsy was to be conducted to figure out exactly what felled Ice.

The 15 Best Tour Operators in 2022

These are the companies Travel + Leisure readers trust to provide them with travel expertise and memorable experiences.

Note: If you’re looking for our most recent recommendations, check out the 2023 list of our favorite tour operators .

When it comes to an itinerary, Travel + Leisure readers want more than a string of photo opportunities — and the right tour operator makes all the difference in creating a trip of a lifetime versus one that simply checks off a list of sights. This year, our readers were especially drawn to companies that utilize local expertise and experience to thoughtfully design trips that will entertain as well as inspire.

Every year for our World's Best Awards survey , T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated tour operators and safari outfitters based on their staff and guides, itineraries and destinations, activities, accommodations, food, and overall value.

The top picks were noted for their deep knowledge of destinations and guides who "go the extra mile." One reader who has been traveling for more than five decades said a trip with Classic Journeys (No. 2) was the "very best" they had experienced. Others noted attention to pandemic safety details, while one who went to Norway was charmed by a "wonderful surprise dinner in Bergen out on the water that was fantastic."

Tour operators that seamlessly navigated the logistics of a trip also came out on top. Quasar Expeditions (No. 9) was noted "for really planning out every detail" so that "all you have to do is show up and have a great time." Meanwhile, of TCS World Travel (No. 10), a guest said: "You never lift a finger and just spend your time actually exploring the destination." They even added that they "learned so much" along the way.

Among the five companies on this year's list that weren't on last year's were two women-only tour operators that cater to travelers of all ages. AdventureWomen (No. 14) has multiday tours designed by women from Bhutan to Yellowstone National Park, while Explorer Chick (No. 15) has everything from day trips — like glassblowing in Baltimore and cave rappelling in St. Louis — to full itineraries in Machu Picchu and the Galápagos. One reader said her Everest Base Camp trip with AdventureWomen was filled with "like-minded women" who "bonded so well," while another said she felt it was a "safe tour group for women."

No matter which tour they chose, readers were most taken by the people they met along the way, as one said of Trek Travel (No. 13): "By the end of the trip, a group of strangers felt like longtime friends." Find out which other companies round out the list of the best tour operators below.

1. DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co.

A tour with DuVine goes far beyond just riding a bike — it's a way to really see the character of a destination. Case in point: even those who say they're not necessarily cycling fans have been converted. That's part of what helped the tour operator — which runs trips in Europe, the U.S., Latin America, and Africa — skyrocket from No. 14 last year to this year's top spot. Its "top-notch biking equipment" and "challenging but doable itineraries" didn't hurt either. One reader was especially taken by a guide picking figs off of a local tree in Puglia for an extra energy boost during a tough climb, as well as another guide singing to the group after dinner. As another reader put it simply: "They exceed your expectations."

By Alice Nichols

Are you planning a vacation or looking for a unique travel experience? If so, you may have considered working with a tourism company to help plan your trip.

These companies offer a wide range of services that can help make your travel experience seamless and stress-free. But what exactly does a tourism company do? Let’s take a closer look.

What is a Tourism Company?

A tourism company is an organization that specializes in providing travel-related services to individuals and groups. These services can include everything from booking flights and hotels to arranging tours, transportation, and activities.

Services Offered by Tourism Companies

Tourism companies offer a variety of services to help travelers plan their perfect trip. Some of the most common services include:

Transportation

One of the primary services offered by tourism companies is transportation. This can include booking flights, trains, buses, or rental cars for travelers. Some tourism companies also offer airport pick-up and drop-off services to ensure that travelers arrive at their destination safely and on time.

Accommodations

Tourism companies can also help travelers find the perfect place to stay during their trip. This can include booking hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, or even camping sites.

Tourism companies often offer travel packages that include multiple services at discounted rates. For example, they may offer a package that includes airfare, hotel accommodations, and several tours or activities.

The Benefits of Working with a Tourism Company

Working with a tourism company offers numerous benefits for travelers. Some of the most significant advantages include:

Study: stretch of i-4 near orlando's tourism district found to be most congested in the u.s..

• Copy Link Copy {copyShortcut} to copy Link copied!

GET LOCAL BREAKING NEWS ALERTS

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox.

At least one section of I-4 has the longest delays in the country, according to a company respected for its traffic analysis.

It's a section of I-4 west of the now-completed Ultimate, so no express lanes provide any relief. The section is the part from the Beachline to the 429.

Richard Davis drives the area and knows it firsthand.

"It is congested, it's crazy. I gotta work my way around that area a couple times a day," Davis said.

The governor has pledged to address traffic congestion issues by shifting money into state transportation projects to tackle trouble spots.

"We understand in these areas, there's really severe traffic and severe congestion there," DeSantis said. "In some of these areas, you can go any time of the day and have a backup."

According to the traffic analysis group INRIX, the area from the beachline to the 429 is number one in the nation for congestion.

It's 31 minutes lost during peak congestion, or 124 hours lost in total last year.

Those stats put that section of I-4 just ahead of a section of Interstate 5, yes, that Interstate 5 in Los Angeles, in terms of congestion.

More time is lost in that section from the beachline to the 429 than you lose on Interstate 5 in Los Angeles.

"The Florida Department of Transportation has been working hard for a number of years to address congestion. Central Florida is rapidly growing," Cindi Lane.

It's clear that the growth in Central Florida and the cars that accompany it have outpaced new pavement.

But around Championsgate, some relief has been added, and more is coming.

"We're going to be able to add some additional auxiliary lanes in Osceola County, accelerating even more quickly to address congestion for commuters," Lane.

In the congested corridor, some interchange work has also started.

We recently started a project, earlier this year to widen the I-4 exit ramp to the eastbound Beachline Expressway, so state road 528 the area you're talking about, from one lane to two lanes," Lane said.

The design, the money, and the desire are clear, but the actual construction takes time.
