The Shore Line presents: Talking Tourism with Shores & Islands Ohio President Larry Fletcher

S1  E16Coming off the 2024 Shores & Islands Ohio annual meeting, organization President Larry Fletcher joins the podcast to talk about all of the amazing accomplishments for the tourism industry and the region in 2023, as well as some highlights from this event. We learn how a dream of being on the radio and playing rock-and-roll translates into a career in tourism, and how Ohio promotes our state for visitation, encouraging people to travel within the state and visitors from out of state to enjoy destinations such as ours. Jill, Dayton, and Larry talk about some of the ways the region has grown and the exciting things either new to the region or coming on board soon. We note how we are a year-round destination and there is no “off-season,” as there is always something happening. Then, we hear about one of the top IRONMAN 70.3 events in the country, coming once again to Sandusky this summer and how Larry is participating for his third straight race.
