Our Guest in June...
Byrne Promotes N.J.
Tourism
|
State government is doing its share to bring tourist dollars to
New Jersey, especially shore destinations. That was the
message from Nancy Byrne, Executive Director of the New Jersey Division of
Travel and Tourism to the Ocean County mayors at our regular meeting on June
17. For example, she said, a recent publicity event in Philadelphia
to promote New Jersey beaches was covered by Fox News among other
outlets, including national media. Byrne said it is difficult to promote the state as
a whole in the face of erroneous yet widely held images of New Jersey.
Instead, she explained, her office and its agencies |
are promoting destinations
within the state, such as the beaches of Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Byrne
described various state programs to help local organizations draw
tourists, including the Cooperative Marketing Grant Program (www.state.nj.us/travel/industry.html).
New Jersey beach communities are in a good position to attract
tourist dollars, she said. In fact, New Jersey beaches are within a
one-tank-of-gas travel range of more than 30 million people. Current
high gas prices discourage vacationers from making longer car trips
even as high fares and airport hassles make flying less attractive. |
