"Pennsylvania's tourism industry will reap the incredible benefits of this online reservation system," said Frederick "Fritz" Smith, deputy secretary for tourism, film and economic-development marketing. "With the help of WorldRes and Webervations, Pennsylvania is making this remarkable reservation system available to potential visitors via the Internet. Vacation planners and travel agents alike can research a destination, check hotel, motel and bed and breakfast room availabilities and make an instant reservation."
Joined by legislators and tourism industry leaders, Smith made the announcement during Tuesday's designated "tourism day" activities. Pennsylvania's Tourism, Film and Economic Development Marketing Office partnered with the Pennsylvania Tourism and Lodging Association (PTLA) and the Pennsylvania Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus (PACVB) to showcase tourism's impact on the Commonwealth's economy and the growth of the tourism industry.
