Here at XPERIA: Ocean Journey, our entire team works hard to provide one of the most unique and exciting attractions in the Smoky Mountains. Our all-digital experience takes visitors on an immersive trip through the deep seas, while introducing them to incredible sea creatures, featuring fun interactive elements, and more. As a testament to our employees’ hard work and dedication, we are proud to announce that three of our outstanding employees have been recognized at the state level for their exceptional contributions to the hospitality and tourism industry!
Earlier this year, three employees of XPERIA: Ocean Journey, Seth Martin, Brett Stelzer, and Summer Blalock were honored at the Sevier County Hospitality and Tourism Stars of the Industry Awards, and they have since advanced to the Tennessee Hospitality and Tourism Association’s prestigious Iris Awards. At the Iris Awards, Seth Martin received the Rising Star Award, Brett Stelzer was named Tourism Manager of the Year, and Summer Blalock was recognized as the Tourism General Manager of the Year. Our entire team is thrilled for them and would like to congratulate them on their efforts that make our attraction a success.
"We are incredibly honored to receive these prestigious awards as a new business in the industry," said Summer Blalock, Attractions General Manager of XPERIA: Ocean Journey. "This recognition is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team. We are truly blessed to have such an amazing group of people committed to creating an unforgettable experience for our guests."
These well-deserved awards highlight our employees’ commitment to providing a fun experience here in the Smoky Mountains, and go to show why XPERIA: Ocean Journey is one of the best attractions in the Smokies. From entertaining scenes from the deep sea, to fascinating creatures, and lots more, there is never a dull moment when you come to visit us. Our attraction is perfect for families, as there is plenty to enjoy for both kids and adults alike! Plus, kids under the age of 5 can enter XPERIA: Ocean Journey for free, making it an affordable part of your family vacation.
Employees like Seth Martin, Brett Stelzer, and Summer Blalock are the reasons why we are able to provide such an excellent experience for visitors here in the Smoky Mountains, as they work day in and day out to make sure that every part of our attraction is perfectly set up for maximum fun and entertainment. It would not be possible for our Sevierville attraction to exist, let alone thrive, without the hard work of everyone on our team. So, make sure to stop by soon to see the results of their amazing work!
