| 123 [Dr Iris Ford: When T attend conferences and T know that some of my family members do this also., we go to the web site and try to map out our itinerary. T am assuming there is a Baltimore City or Maryland weh site that contain some of the African American heritage stops included on this web site. Could this he a viable option for promoting African American sites.] Mr. Fields: Yes, that is an excellent way. The Maryland Office of Tourism does have a web site. I also have a web site and I have asked to be linked to their web site so that if someone is interested in African American sites, you can just click on to it and it will link to the tourism page and you can plan your itinerary. I don't know if they have someone monitoring it daily, however the last time I pulled it up, they had two references to ethnic, African American festivals and they were held in 1996. That was about two years ago. Someone definitely needs to be monitoring that. However they probably do not have enough dollars in their budget to pay someone who can update the site. Yet, your point is very important because that is the way travelers are planning their visits, through the Internet. |
