FREEHOLD – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners recently announced that Monmouth County Tourism was recognized with the President’s Award from the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association (NJTIA) for launching and developing their new tourism website in 2020.
“I am thrilled that Monmouth County Tourism has received the President’s Award from the NJTIA for all of the effort that was put into the new Tourism website,” Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to Monmouth County Tourism, said. “The pandemic forced tourism to adapt to the changing and increasing demands for user-friendly online access to information and I commend the County Tourism staff for their hard work and dedication to the residents and visitors of Monmouth County.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, Monmouth County Tourism started to rebrand its platform. They wanted to create a brand new website so those visiting can explore all Monmouth County has to offer.
The transformation commenced at the start of 2020 and officially launched in April 2021. The new website reached nearly 30,000 users by early August.
Monmouth County Tourism also published promotional videos discussing how the county is a year-round tourism destination for thousands of visitors.
“Monmouth County is a year-round tourism destination with a variety of events, restaurants, shops, and small businesses to visit,” Arnone said. “I encourage everyone to visit the new Tourism website to see for themselves how user-friendly and easy it is to navigate and visitors can find information about planning their visit to Monmouth County.”
The New Jersey Tourism Association (NJTIA) is a 501-C6 non-profit trade organization. Its members include every aspect of the $38 billion State tourism industry and are a representative body of organizations that promote and serve the individual aspects of that industry.
