Anne Arundel Redesigns 3 Tourism Websites To Draw Travelers

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Last Friday, Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County unveiled three website redesigns to advertise the best the region has to offer. The trio includes Visit Annapolis, Visit BWI & Beyond and Annapolis Discovered. The webpages are interconnected, making it easy to update information at a moment's notice during an ever-changing coronavirus pandemic.

"Being able to provide accurate, up-to-date information in a timely manner is key to building trust, confidence, and loyalty with our members, visitors, and the local community," Chairman of the Board Gary Jobson said in a press release. "If we can serve them well during challenging times, they’ll know they can count on us in good times as well."

Visit Annapolis explores the state capital and nearby countryside. Visit BWI & Beyond offers a guide to the BWI and Arundel Mills area. Annapolis Discovered is a collection of print and video blogs about the city's lifestyle and history.

The rebranding came days before Tuesday's National Plan for Vacation Day. This year's theme is "Let's Go There." The holiday encourages visitors to create a travel wish list so they don't waste their vacation days.

"The VAAAC team works year-round to help ensure the information visitors are looking for is at their fingertips," Jobson added. "We invite individuals from across the country to visit our websites and contact our offices on National Plan for Vacation Day and every day. Just as importantly, members of the VAAAC team encourage area residents to look to them for information and insights designed to help them experience the staycations of their dreams in 2021."
