“The River Walk Association and Visit San Antonio see this opportunity as a positive combination of resources and areas of expertise to elevate the experience and promotion of the River Walk,” said Maria Martinez, chairwoman of the River Walk Association board, and Jeffrey Arndt, board chairman for Visit San Antonio, in a joint statement.

The organization’s leadership said the process of folding the River Walk association into Visit San Antonio will happen over the next several week.
