It's been a wild ride with the Maine Coast Welcome Center Photo Contest. We received our 200th Photo this week. To date over 2600 Votes have been submitted!

The 200th entry came from Craig of Cumberland, ME. I contacted Craig to learn something about him...

Craig, tell us a little about youself:
"My wife and I grew up in Maine.  Our careers took us "away" and we lived and worked all over the world.  We finally retired late in 2008 and moved back home.  We now live in Cumberland and enjoy what Maine has to offer.  We kayak, sail, ski, rollerblade, bike, golf and spend much of our summer on WANDA our powerboat moored in Rockland."
How did you hear of our contest?
"A friend from NH sent me the contest web page."
Voting remains open till 4/30/2010 Midnite! Vote HERE.

? Experiential ? Maine Tourism Print E-mail

The new buzzword in tourism is:

experiential [ik-speer-ee-en-shuhl]

–adjective: pertaining to or derived from experience.

Oh, that's what we do with you guys already! Barry of the Comfort Inn with his Video, Jamie of Mainely Pottery with his Pottery Display, Ken of Brown's Wharf with his Live WebCAM. What can you ad this year???

How about this one from Old Town Canoe & Kayak? From Sarah of their marketing department, "The Old Town Vapor kayak on display is manufactured in Maine. Old Town Canoe and Kayak is a proud supporter of the Maine Coast Welcome Center."

The Kayak Display Area will focus our guest's attention on this exciting segment of Maine Tourism.

So if a business sells or rents Kayaks, they can be displayed here.

Businesses who do Kayak tours will be here as well.

Then, when guests decide where to visit in Maine based on the Kayaking in that region, we will also provide information about other businesses in that region, like Where to Stay, Where to Eat, and What Else to do!

A well rounded vaction Experience begins at the Maine Coast Welcome Center !

So if your business has a connection to Kayaking, become part of the experience beside our Maine Made Old Town Kayak !
