It’s good to see Warren County’s tourism rebound as we near the Memorial Day holidays and the unofficial start of summer.

Dave Sherman, executive director of the Warren County Visitors Bureau, recently told the Times Observer that requests for information from visitors have increased, as has the county-level bed tax revenue. People not only want to visit, they also want to stay longer than a day.

This is a good sign for local restaurants, whose owners will be pleased to see the increase in foot traffic from visitors with money to spend.

Just think of the possibilities when the visitor bureau can make better use of the internet. The office has a website, but Sherman is quick to admit that the county’s digital marketing efforts can be improved.

It would be up to local businesses to stand behind the efforts of the Warren County Visitors’ Bureau by linking the county’s various websites so that visitors can quickly find what they are looking for. A greater presence of the Warren County Visitors’ Bureau is good for everyone.
