“New Hampshire was the first state in New England to launch an exclusive social media benefit program and we’re proud that after one year we doubled the program length and extended it to Twitter followers,” said Tai Freligh, Communications Manager for DTTD. “This is an ideal way to encourage people to visit New Hampshire, take advantage of this spectacular offer, and enjoy the outdoors while staying at a beautiful resort.”
Freligh added that more than 20 lodging properties, including restaurants and attractions, have participated in the VisitNH Fan Benefit initiative since its inception, with most reporting a notable call volume increase, resulting in higher sales.
