Our goal is to serve seniors with a senior friendly site that will provide them with information on the attractions found in the Lake Erie Region and travel tips concerning a safe and enjoyable trip. The site is designed to better accommodate the senior traveler during their trip to the Lake Erie Region. The project, funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, focuses on Erie, Crawford, Mercer and Venango Counties, each of which offers diverse and fun attractions and activities for seniors. The goal of the project is to attract senior travelers to the Lake Erie Region. Not only will the project focus on travel but also customer service and employment needs of older adults as well.
Tourism is the second largest industry in the Lake Erie Region.
It is not surprising, considering all of the beautiful attractions that the region has to offer such as Conneaut Lake Park, The Erie National Wildlife Refuge, Pyrnatuning State Park. However, currently, there is a lack of effective marketing to the senior group about these counties. Attracting senior tourist through marketing and promotion. Providing excellent customer service to senior travelers 3. Linking the Senior Community Centers as active partners in tourism.
