Welcome to Cities Connect, where we discuss issues that matter. In this episode, representatives from Explore Georgia, the state’s official tourism website, share how cities can expand the visibility and reach of their local events to audiences throughout the state. 

Beginning Friday, Nov. 1, 2024, GMA is partnering with Explore Georgia, the state’s official tourism website managed by the Georgia Department of Economic Development to list fairs and festivals of our members.

This transition will enable GMA to concentrate more fully on its core mission of serving Georgia’s cities, while ensuring that fairs and festivals receive the targeted exposure they deserve. Explore Georgia, as a dedicated tourism platform, offers enhanced visibility and reach, attracting a broader audience specifically interested in events and attractions throughout the state. This partnership ensures that local events will be promoted alongside other key attractions, maximizing their potential impact and drawing more visitors to cities across Georgia.
