Have a Favorite Local Vacation/Tourism Spot?

1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts is a new cultural tourism program that celebrates what is unique about our state, its communities, and its people, and also to stimulate cultural tourism. The program seeks to increase visitation to the state’s wide range of exceptional historic sites, cultural venues, and natural landscapes.

“There are so many great places and local gems in our district that would be a wonderful addition to this list.  As a community, we can showcase these locations to bring more people to the area.  I strongly encourage my friends to tell their stories about what makes our favorite places the best,” Representative Naughton said.

The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) has established a website to accept nominations from the public: www.Massvacation.com/1000greatplaces

All Great Places that are nominated must be open and available to the public. Only one nomination per person will be accepted.  The nomination period will close April 1, 2010 and the final list will be announced in May.
