Reeling Them In: How VisitErie is Promoting Erie's Special Events and Bringing Tourism to Town

Special Guest: John Oliver, President/CEO VisitErie

With its natural beauty, stunning sunsets and abundant water, Erie – Pennsylvania’s only Great Lake city – always has been a destination for tourism. But with the developments along the city’s Bayfront, as well as the areas off of Interstate 90, Erie is no longer just a single season destination.

Boasting a new casino and racetrack, wineries, skiing, amusement parks, restaurants and shopping, the city offers year-round entertainment for those seeking an affordable getaway. In fact, more than 4 million people visit each year, pumping valuable dollars into the local economy. But how do we get them here – and keep them coming back?

Join us for breakfast as John Oliver, VisitErie president and CEO, shares what his organization is doing to promote the city’s special events and bring tourism to town.
