As 2018 draws to a close, the Franklin County Visitors Bureau recognizes the growing CTA Program and reflects on a year of progress toward expanding the mission of both the FCVB and the CTA Program.

The Door County Visitor Bureau (DCVB) celebrated the certification of their 1,000th Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) this summer. 

Gary Pitt, a graduate of Florida’s Full Sail University and a drummer in the Royal Bermuda Regiment Band & Corps of Drums, thought it was his love of showing visitors a truly Bermudian experience that helped him win.

Oaklawn representatives and volunteers from several regional organizations met recently at the Albion Courtyard by Marriott hotel for a class intended to endow the participants’ certification as “tourism ambassadors.”

Sue & Joe Jarosh were the local and national winners of the Certified Tourism Ambassador™ program CTA of the Year Star Award representing Door County, Wisconsin in 2014.
