This morning, Atlanta’s Tourism Director Scott McCoy spoke with a group of students from area high schools. The students are participating in the Land of Lincoln CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) program. The Land of Lincoln CEO Facilitator, Sarah Tomaszewski, also attended.
McCoy spoke about tourism, economic development, and marketing — and how they work together for the success of a community like Atlanta. He also spoke directly on the huge success of communities that take advantage of Route 66 tourism and the hundreds of thousand visitors that travel the Mother Road each year.
Atlanta Tourism participates with many area schools and colleges with tours and class seminars.
