Tennessee's South Cumberland Tourism Partnership is a locally-based, nonprofit organization working to develop a sustainable economic initiative for our area, based on the development of responsible tourism. Responsible tourism embraces our traditions and values, while recognizing that visitors to our area can have a substantial and positive impact on our area's economy, supporting local businesses of all kinds, from restaurants and retailers to family-owned and small businesses in supporting roles such as utilities, government, construction, healthcare and more. The core of our values are not to change who we are, but rather, to welcome visitors who respect our area's traditions and values, and want to enjoy visiting the South Cumberland region while supporting our area's economy.
Here's what we've been up to:
-
We've built an all-new MountainsOfAdventure.com website:
-
Features easier navigation that draws visitors in to all our mountain has to offer
-
Includes mini-portal pages for each community with their own domain names (VisitAltamont.com, VisitMonteagle.com, etc.)
-
Link directly from attractions to nearby businesses so visitors do more and spend more (such as “places to eat near Grundy Lakes”)
-
-
We’ve been advertising heavily on Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube:
-
Our ads were seen over 1 million times each month
-
Visitors clicked from these ads to our website over 17,000 times
-
-
We’ve added followers on social media and email:
-
Over 1,000 email subscribers
-
16,000 Facebook followers
-
2,500 Instagram followers
-
-
We’ve installed a network of TV screens in area businesses that are frequented by visitors. These screens play looping videos that showcase our tourism-related assets, and also advertise our local businesses.
Here’s how your business can benefit from this:
