Share Your News and Imagery

Overview

The more Statewide Marketing & Tourism knows about cultural and tourism activities across the state, the better we can promote them to visitors and residents. If you're a tourism-related business or organization in Connecticut, we invite you to let us know about your new attractions, destination updates, new packages and discounts so that we can share them with our press contacts, through our social media sites and on our website.

Press Outreach

The Statewide Marketing & Tourism team connects regularly with members of the local, regional and national media, who are always looking for unique stories and interesting destinations. Partners are encouraged to send updates to the Connecticut Tourism team for possible inclusion in our media outreach.    

Be sure to add Adams & Knight's PR Specialist Caci Cosenzi, to your distribution list for news releases, special values and packages, and travel/tourism marketing mailings.   

“Fam” Tours

Short for “familiarization tour," a fam tour offers writers — including traditional press, freelance travel journalists and bloggers — an invitation to experience a region, attraction, hotel or restaurant in exchange for exposure that will hopefully lead to future business. If you're willing to comp a visitor to encourage them to experience your destination, let us know so we can consider adding you to upcoming fam tour agendas.

Please contact Jill Larsen, Community Engagement & Outreach Specialist at (860) 805-4289 or Jill.Larsen@ct.gov.
