Explore Watkins Glen Travel Guide Advertising Opportunities:
Explore Watkins Glen produces the official Schuyler County Travel Guide each year. The Travel Guide features photos, travel tips, and serves as a colorful, informative, and comprehensive guide to the best our region has to offer! Advertising decisions for this annual publication are made in the fall, with deadlines closing in or around November of each year.
Why should you advertise? Here are the facts:
- Last year, our 214 North Franklin Street Visitor Center welcomed nearly 30,000 visitors. Our State Park Visitor Center served approximately 100,000 visitors in its inaugural year; nearly 1,200 of those visitors left with one of our Travel Guides in hand.
- The guide is used as the tourism resource for attractions, lodging, restaurants, recreations, the arts, navigation, and much more!
- 100,000 copies will be printed and distributed in both of the Chamber Visitor Centers, lodging establishments, airports, festivals, attractions, as well as through direct fulfillments, following inquiries from potential visitors. While visitors oftentimes use digital technology to reach a destination in advance of their visit, once they are in our region many visitors find a hardcopy publication to be very useful: it doesn't need cell connectivity to work, nor power, it won't "crash" and it's always on!
- Travel Guide readers are actively looking for places to go and things to do. Advertising in the official Travel Guide is the key to making your business stand out!
- The Travel Guide is also digitized and available on our website at www.explorewatkinsglen.com. The online link is promoted via social to prospective travelers looking for destination information.
- This will be the only printed piece in 2021 at both Visitor Centers with advertising opportunities available.
