COLUMBUS — Summer is just around the corner, and everyone is ready to travel. To help spur tourism into the area, Fayette County Travel & Tourism Bureau partnered with TourismOhio, and joined more than 120 other attractions and destinations from across the state for the 2023 Ohio Tourism Day, held May 10 at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus. Hundreds of people, looking to make summer plans, attended the event.
To kick off the day, Gov. DeWine unveiled Ohio’s new brand: “Ohio, The Heart of it All.” The beloved theme with a modern twist captures the state’s Midwestern warmth and invites people to create a life they love here in Ohio, according to a news release.
“Thanks to all of our tourism partners for taking part in this unique event that offers visitors a chance to discover new attractions and destinations that showcase all Ohio has to offer as a place of adventure, a place of promise, and the place for you,” said Lydia Mihalik, director of Ohio Department of Development.
“Ohio Tourism Day is a great reminder that our state is the heart of it all, with something for everyone to enjoy,” said Stephanie Dunham, executive director at Fayette County Travel & Tourism Bureau. “The day allowed us to have one-on-one conversations with potential visitors looking to visit restaurants, hotels, retailers, and other nearby attractions that call Fayette County home.”
