How We See Salem: Destination Salem's own Stacia Cooper shares her thoughts

Today the local perspective is coming from Stacia Cooper, Project Assistant extraordinaire at Destination Salem.

Destination Salem is the destination marketing organization for the city of Salem. In addition to managing Salem.org and HauntedHappenings.org, we create the annual Visitor & Travel Guide to Salem. We also work with tour operators, travel agents, travel associations, concierge, and tourism councils to get the word out about Salem - and that word is awfully good these days!
