Added to Facebook in July 2009, the VisitNH page, which is an online site administered by New Hampshire tourism, offers videos, photos and information on hot spots to visit in the state. New Hampshire has benefitted from the web traffic brought in by the popular social networking site.
The Division of Travel and Tourism Development added the link on Facebook, where over 1 500 new subscribers have signed up for free subscription thus far. The department has decided to reap the benefits of this efficient, economical means of online marketing to attract tourists looking to explore New Hampshire.
Starting this month, the first travel deal will be a 50% discount on the price of mid-week lodging at the Church Landing Inn on Lake Winnipesaukee in Meredith.
The state’s tourism bureau expects that the discounts on Facebook will increase the number subscribers, and the state will continue to use the new means of advertising, and ultimately create an influx of tourists.
