The Shenandoah County tourism office has launched a solo website as part of a rebranding campaign that was announced in December.
The site, called visitshenandoahcounty.com, debuted on Friday. No official tracking numbers are available yet, Tourism Director Jenna French said Wednesday, but she has already fielded more online requests for county visitor guides than is usual for midwinter.
“We’ve had requests from the region, from Illinois and Texas and from Georgia,” she said. “It’s generally a pretty quiet time of year for us.”
Mountain High Media in Charlottesville developed the site at a cost of $18,500. It was funded with a $50,000 Virginia Tourism Corporation grant the county received in September.
