This is achieved by including tourism related information about cities and towns, attractions, hotels and lodging, articles and events on the website.
Tourism Event Listing
Placing a tourism event on Division of Travel and Tourism’s website is provided as a free service. Tourism listings will be added that meet the following criteria:
- Event must be related to the tourism industry, open to the general public and appeal to visitors not just a local audience.
- Event must take place in New Jersey and/or have primary focus of a location in New Jersey.
- An Event does not constitute as an everyday occurrence that takes place, there must be an element that is out of the norm which makes it special and considered an event.
- Event listings will not be published that are solicitations or contain any profane language and content.
- Events will only be accepted for possible approval via the online Entry Form once an account is created in the database. Emails, press releases, and other forms of media are not acceptable.
All submissions will be reviewed by the Division of Travel and Tourism to determine that the event meets the criteria and is related to the tourism industry. The Division of Travel and Tourism reserves the right to edit, modify, restrict or remove listings at any time without notification.
