Division of Tourism Wins Awards for "Celebrate 375" Campaign

The St. Mary's County Division of Tourism's "Celebrate 375" campaign and special commemorative destination guide each took top industry honors at the 29th Maryland Tourism and Travel Summit on November 5, in Ocean City!  The first award, the Cooperative Promotion Award for an Integrated Campaign or Continuing Program, honors promotions which incorporate a variety of marketing activities over a sustained period of time. The second award was for the best visitor’s guide.  The awards are given by the Maryland Tourism Council (MTC). MTC's annual awards are the most prestigious and anticipated awards given within Maryland's Tourism and Hospitality industry.  The competition for the awards was stiff and the winners were selected from nominations throughout Maryland.  For more information about the awards, please see the press release.

The Celebrate 375 campaign continues until the end of the year, but the Division of Tourism is already working on the destination guide for 2010.  Advertising in the 2010 destination guide is available and is a great way to highlight your business.  If you are interested in advertising, you can view the advertising rate sheet by clicking here.  To purchase an advertisement, please call Jennifer Webster at 240-215-5486.  The advertising deadline is January 4, 2010.
