These videos spotlight the many protocols businesses across the state have put in place to welcome visitors back safely. Each video includes interviews with a sampling of our restaurant, lodging and attraction leaders who showcase how well-prepared the entire Connecticut tourism industry is for the return of our residents and area visitors alike.
We are promoting these videos through a variety of digital media tactics. Please help us get the word out by downloading these videos through the links below and sharing them through your channels as well. When you do, please tag CTvisit, and use our campaign hashtag #GoodToCT.
