Ooh.com Offers Gulf Coast Tourism Options to Support Region’s Economy
To help support small businesses in the region, Ooh.com has identified Gulf Coast activities that may persuade travelers to retain their travel plans and their vital tourism investments.
Denver, CO, June 16, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is devastating the region’s economy, particularly in the fishing and tourism industries. While in past years, thousands of tourists have typically traveled to the Gulf Coast to enjoy their vacations, many are cancelling plans to do so this year, further compounding the economic devastation.
To help support small businesses in the region, Ooh.com has identified several Gulf Coast activities that may persuade travelers to retain their travel plans and their vital tourism investments. The following activities are offered by small businesses located in the Gulf Coast area:
- Take a hot air balloon ride with Painted Horizons Hot Air Balloon Tours in Orlando, Fla.
- Join a family-run business for a walking tour of the famous New Orleans French Quarter. Your tour guide will give you the chilling details of the history and haunts of the people and buildings on this two-hour experience.
- Experience a hike through Hidden Waters Preserve in central Florida and be amazed by the transition from upland sandhill to lowland tropical setting. Start at an elevation of 180 feet above sea level and drop to just 75 feet above sea level in less than an hour.
Small businesses in the region that are currently offering activities for tourists and families, such as craft workshops, photography lessons or gardening classes may post a free listing on www.ooh.com. This online tool gives small business owners located in the Gulf region access to a free, global Internet marketing resource to reassure travelers that the Gulf Coast is still “open for business.”
