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!

Another FREE Opportunity
Another FREE opportunity for AMTA members! The Sales Committee is creating an online coupon sheet with discount offers for individuals to download from our web site (www.visitmetroatlanta.com). Our goal is to have the coupon sheets be available for individual travelers as well as for family reunions, weddings and social gatherings in order to increase traffic at our attractions and hotels. Our members will also have the opportunity to print them as a courtesy to clients thus increasing your exposure.
The size of the coupon will be based on the number of participants who sign up. So for now, we need anyone interested in offering a discount to email Beth Bailey, Clayton County CVB at beth@visitscarlett.com with the following information. The deadline for signing up is Friday, May 15th. Once the number of participants is known we will contact each partner with the available size. You may create your own coupon or we will create it for you.
