ALBANY — The Plantation Trace tourism region, of which Albany is the hub, will soon be getting a full time project manager.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development, which handles tourism throughout the state, has begun the search for a tourism project manager devoted to developing tourism projects in the southwestern part of the state.
Georgia is currently divided into nine tourism regions and south Georgia’s region, known as Plantation Trace, has been without a full time tourism project manager for more than two years.
According to Rashelle Beasley, director of Albany’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, having a someone devoted solely to tourism initiatives for the region will really benefit Albany, which serves as the hub of Plantation Trace.
“It’s huge for us,” said Beasley. “Ours was the only region without a full time project manager. We’ve been really lobbying for a representative. We’ve got a lot of product development opportunities here within the region.”
