Warren, May 7 – The Trumbull County Tourism Bureau has launched a social media campaign that invites area residents to encourage visitation to Trumbull County, all while following the appropriate protocols associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new campaign gives residents ideas on things to do in Trumbull County. The initiative was announced during National Tourism Week (May 3-9).
Current travel research indicates that people will be staying closer to home through the end of the year, and visiting family and friends is one of the top planned trips. With that information, the Bureau is taking the opportunity to speak to area residents about activities they can share with those visiting Trumbull County.
“We’re optimistic about the future and want to share that with the region, while not abandoning the fact that this virus will be with us for a while,” said Beth Kotwis Carmichael, executive director of Trumbull County Tourism.
With lodging tax revenue expected to drop significantly through the next six months, the staff undertook various aspects of the initiative, including video and audio production, recording, editing, and script writing.
The first set of videos feature ways to get outdoors. The next set will focus on how local businesses are meeting health and safety requirements. See @ExploreTrumbullCounty on Facebook to view.
“We realize that everyone is dealing with the pandemic in different ways with a range of different emotions. We’ve chosen, through our marketing efforts, to give people optimism about the things they can do here, all while social distancing. Some of those activities you can do today, and some will be waiting for you in the future,” said Carmichael.
