Massachusetts Welcomes You

Yesterday was the annual Massachusetts Governor's Conference on Travel & Tourism. It is a great opportunity for those of us in the industry to do some networking, learn about travel industry trends (for example, of the 26 million travelers in the US, 65% are driving to their destinations), and get to see the new Massachusetts ad campaign.

You can see the new ad at Massvacation.com. It's funky and original. The music is by the Brian Setzer Orchestra, if you're curious.

While you are on Massvacation.com, don't forget to download - and use - your MassValue Pass. It's valid through Tuesday, March 31 (the spring MassValue Pass will be available in mid-April). It's good for discounts throughout Massachusetts, including Salem and the North of Boston region.

Visit Salem.org for complete listings of things to do, places to stay, eat and explore. In the meantime, here are the Salem businesses who offer discounts on the MassValue Pass.
