The annual West Virginia Tourism Board Day event held at the State Capitol was attended by representatives from Hancock, Brook and Ohio Counties, along with three Marshall County representatives.
Marshall County representatives were Greater Moundsville CVB Chairman and Grand View Park General Manager Craig White, CVB’s Olivia Archie and Palace of Gold’s Tommy Halibor.
The event will allow tourism officials across the state to meet with state legislators and distribute information about various attractions, White said.
One of the first people to visit their booth was their daughter, Melinda Barrett, who happens to work for the Capitol.
In addition to the conference, White has already attended tourism-related events in Pittsburgh and Cleveland and will be attending a similar event in Washington DC in two weeks.
