220 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 6 have certain clients that are going to come into town. They actually promote the film industry business that we have in this region. From time to time, film companies have found locations in the area to film movies and the Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau coordinate that. We work with them to try to make the experience for those film producers and their associates as streamlined as possible.’ BVM: Three to five years down the road, what do you envision for the future of the Four Corners Regional Airport? Lewis: “I think it all depends on the political structure at the state and federal level, as to how the economy recovers and what direction we take as a state and a country. That could very well determine whether we continue in a mode where everything is on hold. Or if business begins to boom again, fuel prices comes down, and miraculously the pilot shortage is solved and airlines are once again in the market of looking for places to fly – rather than just trying to recoup their 2019 levels of operation. It’s always cyclical and we’re still not there yet. But I believe things are going to open up again and become prosperous overall.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Farmington Convention & Visitors Bureau FarmingtonNM.org With ample opportunities for rafting, off-roading and cultural excursions, Farmington is the ideal basecamp for outdoor lovers and active families.
