Benefits & Value of Membership

FREE Web Exposure

Post your business listing and events to our website for FREE! (Link your website to ours for a minimal fee. Free for the first year of membership).
Promote your event on the social web calendar. Get the word out! Most members already post events to the social web and since many of the regional newspapers and many other tourism sites pull info from this public access calendar, it saves everyone time and avoiding having to duplicate work.
