Description
Tourism spending in York County ranks third overall in the Dutch Country Roads region, a region comprised of heavyweight hitting counties such as Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry, and of course York County. Over the past 18 months, Explore York has worked from nearly a $500,000 budget for destination marketing. Moving forward, they have an additional $200,000 budgeted to focus on leisure marketing and to advertise, market and promote tourism to York County.
Hear from two leaders dedicated to driving destination marketing and tourism for York County, and Downtown York: Melissa Beaverson, Director of Destination Marketing with Explore York and Katie Mahoney, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer for the YCEA and Downtown Inc.
The Economics Club Breakfast series offers an informative monthly breakfast and provides attendees the opportunity to network with key business and community leaders. A variety of speakers discuss economic and business updates important to York County.
