Tourism Partners Participate in Heartland Travel Showcase

This past weekend, seven Guernsey County Tourism partners, representing four tourist attractions, traveled to Columbus, Ohio for the 25th Annual Heartland Travel Showcase, the largest regional motor coach market place in the United States. One hundred and thirty six tour operators from around the country met with over 460 exhibitors during the three-day show.
