Planning a staycation this summer? Connecticut’s tourism bureau has unveiled a new website in time for summer.
The completely redesigned and rebuilt website, CTvisit.com, launched by the Connecticut Office of Tourism, makes it easier to learn more about the state’s major attractions as well as what it calls its hidden gems and to plan a getaway in just a few clicks.
CTvisit.com has information on more than 4,000 places to visit, stay and eat in Connecticut as well as hundreds of travel stories, vacation deals and event listings.
“Connecticut now has a state-of-the-art website to support our $14 billion tourism industry, which supports 80,000 direct jobs,” said Catherine Smith, commissioner, state Department of Economic and Community Development, which oversees the Office of Tourism.
Nearly a year in the making, the new site was a collaborative effort involving the state’s many different kinds of tourism businesses, local associations and other Connecticut state agencies, according to the announcement. Regional tourism districts also worked closely with the state’s tourism office to enhance content and aggregate listings.
