Lufkin, TX – (December 7, 2007) – The Lufkin Convention and Visitors Bureau’s (LCVB) tourism web site, http://www.visitlufkin.com/, has been revamped and debuted on Friday, December 7, 2007.
The new site, created by Matt Massey of MasseyMedia, features entirely new design, easier navigation and expanded features. Its standard offerings include trip planning to Lufkin for leisure travelers, group tour operators and meeting planners, listings of local attractions, dining, and lodging options, convention services, and LCVB information. Additions to the site include signups for the e-newsletter, Tourism Tidbits, and a photo gallery of Lufkin events, sights, and happenings.
The site also includes an enhanced feature, an interactive calendar that will give local businesses, attractions, and residents access to publicize their public events at the touch of a button. Use this calendar to find dates on annual events, holiday events, and more.
“Since the LCVB launched its first website, some updates have been made over the years,” said Alisha Burrow, Manager for the Lufkin Convention & Visitors Bureau. “The LCVB has wanted to give it a major overhaul for some time now, especially since that was one of the primary recommendations in our Bureau’s strategic plan, and we now promoting Lufkin as a premiere tourism destination. We wanted our web site to be innovative and reflective of all the changes in both our region – and the world of technology. We’re very proud now to bring our visitors the best of both with the introduction of our new web site.”
