Let’s face it…we all could use some business! Well, here’s a FREE opportunity to promote your hotel, attraction or area to visitors that are already on the road traveling! We will be having AMTA Days at the following State Visitor Centers. You simply need to bring your brochures (and giveaways if you have any) to pass out to visitors passing through the State Visitor Centers. It is at no cost to you (except you gas to get there)! Take advantage of this FREE opportunity!!! This promotion is being coordinated by Candice Coco with the Alpharetta CVB. Please contact her at candice@awesomealpharetta.com to sign up!
