FOR LOCALS

Southern charm, warm hospitality, and a dang good time.

Let’s show them how it’s done.

Tourism dollars help offset local residents’ tax burden, provide direct revenue to small businesses, and create a vibrant community. So, how can Visit Gloucester help?

Local Business: Visitors travel to places that provide an authentic community, and the best way to share that is through restaurants and boutique retail. Visit Gloucester lists all unique shopping and dining in our Visitors Guide and home page. We frequently share new merchandise, sales, or other business features and refer editorials to local and statewide magazines.

Events: Visit Gloucester keeps a robust calendar of free and ticketed events for travelers to experience. We share this information with Gloucester County, Chamber of Commerce, Gloucester Main Street, Virginia Tourism Corporation- Virginia is for Lovers, and through established website and social media traffic. For the best marketing exposure, send us details at least one month in advance of your event, include a website where someone can get tickets or more information, and a photo!

Short-Term Rentals: Travelers cannot visit if they don’t have a place to stay! Visit Gloucester works closely with local hotels and inns, however we would love to market charming short-term rentals for diverse travelers’ interests. AirBnB,VRBO, or rented privately- we want it all!
