SDTA Partners with San Diego Magazine for the 2013 Visitor Planning Guide, Reserve Space Now!

Kerri Verbeke Kapich — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 22:10:48 +0000

Two of San Diego’s most respected brands are joining forces in 2013 to drive even more tourism dollars into our local economy. San Diego Magazine and the San Diego Tourism Authority (SDTA) have entered into a new partnership to produce the 2013 San Diego Visitor Planning Guide, the official visitor’s resource guide for the region. With our like-minded goals to showcase all our city has to offer, the partnership is a natural fit and a win-win for each organization, as well as our city.

Production of the guide began on January 18. It will be published semi-annually with a Spring/Summer and a Fall/Winter edition in larger format, just like San Diego Magazine. It will be distributed to potential visitors through Visitor Information Centers, and by request through sandiego.org, sandiegomagazine.com and SDTA’s 800 number. New digital applications will also allow visitors to download content on demand via any device (Desktop, iPhone, Android or Tablet).

The deadline to reserve space in the spring edition is March 25, 2013. For information regarding advertising opportunities, please contact Account Manager Krissy Engle at 619.564.3202 or krissye@sandiegomagazine.com.

For information on the partnership, please contact Eric Lund, Vice President of Community Relations at the SDTA, 619.557.2857 or elund@sandiego.org or Karen Mullen, Advertising Director of San Diego Magazine at 619.744.0525 or karen@sandiegomagazine.com.
