Chautauqua County Guide Available

Mayville: -- Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards is pleased to announce that over 200,000 copies of the 2009 Chautauqua County Visitors guide are now available.

Both Edwards and CCVB Executive Director Andrew Nixon said the travel guide is used by thousands of area visitors each year to make decisions about visiting Chautauqua County and to learn more about what to see and do while here.

"The Chautauqua County Visitors Guide for 2009 is a must read for everyone in Chautauqua County," Edwards said. "I say that because even though I have lived here my whole life I found new and exciting things in the guide that my family and I will be doing this year. It is also a source that we should be recommending to anyone who is coming to our County or who we meet when visiting Chautauqua County. There is no easier way to assure that people get the most out of their time here than to just say, 'check out the visitors guide available all over the county or on line at tourchautauqua.com'."

"The travel guide & map, as well as CCVB’s TourChautauqua.com website, are the best tools available for local tourism business employees and residents to use in making recommendations about what to see and do in the area," Nixon said.

The 80-page travel guide includes information on dozens of area attractions and comes with a new and informative map. An additional 10,000 stand alone copies of the map are available at the CCVB office at the Main Gate of Chautauqua Institution.

Edwards said the new map offers a new recreation map that includes cycling routes, state lands, primary snowmobile trails and much, much more. The reverse side of the map provides names and locations for lodging, shopping, dining, attractions and wineries, either on a full county map or one of several community maps.

In addition to the printed travel guide, an online version is available through www.tourchautauqua.com. Users can browse travel guide pages and links to websites for specific businesses and attractions found in the guide.

Nixon said the 2009 travel guide features a “leisure learning” theme throughout, as suggested in the Branding and Marketing Action Plan provided to CCVB by tourism marketing consultant firm Destination Development, Inc. The core premise of the plan is that the area should market itself as “The World’s Learning Center.”
