The Reps responsibility was to serve as liaisons for the Department (GDEcD), sharing information and education on the value of tourism, the importance of cooperative efforts and State Tourism office programs. As the Georgia travel industry has grown, the efforts of the Reps have evolved to assist the needs of the travel industry in each of their nine state travel regions and two offices in Europe (see below).
Among the services provided by the Reps are monthly reports that provides a timely update on news, information and accomplishments in each region and international office. For contact information on a rep or to view a PDF report, click on a link below :
