Monmouth
County Tourism Receives
“President’s
Award” from NJTIA
FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners is
proud to announce that Monmouth County Tourism has been honored with the President’s
Award from the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association (NJTIA) for the
development and launch of the 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,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone,
liaison to Monmouth County Tourism. “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.”
The award highlights that in early 2020, as the
COVID-19 pandemic began, Monmouth County Tourism began rebranding its web
presence and created a new website. The transformation of the new website began
in 2020 and officially launched in April 2021. By early August, the website had
nearly 30,000 users. In addition to the new website, Tourism also commissioned
promotional videos that focused on Monmouth County being a year-round tourism destination.
“Monmouth County is a year-round tourism destination with
a variety of events, restaurants, shops, and small businesses to visit,” said
Commissioner Director Arnone. “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.
