The Tourists are coming. Are you ready?

For all the reasons Jim Dowd so entertainingly cites in yesterday’s rant, plus the fact that your personal livelihood might actually depend on them, it’s that time of year to welcome tourists to Gloucester — and be grateful they’re coming.

VisitorCenterThe Gloucester Visitor’s Welcoming Center opens tomorrow at Stage Fort Park and Kathie Gilson, who runs it, has invited everyone who’s business supports Gloucester’s visitor economy to attend the opening reception at 5pm.  Bring your brochures to display at the Visitor’s Welcoming Center for the season.

You might also want to check your listing on GloucesterMA.com, the City’s official visitor website.  Everybody knows that the Web is the number 1 source of information for visitors and GloucesterMA.com is Gloucester’s #1 tourism website.  It’s the top Google result for nearly every Gloucester tourism related phrase (hotels, inns, restaurants, etc.) and many local businesses report that GloucesterMA.com is their number 1 source of referrals after Google.  It’s a free service offered by the City, so you might as well take advantage of it.  If you need any changes to your listing, or it’s not there or you notice anything that’s incorrect, click here and explain the situation.  It will be taken care of quickly.
