23% increase crushes previous annual records and inspires dynamic experiences for more visitors
The Orange County Tourism website, orangetourism.org, drew record-breaking traffic over the past year, surpassing 1 million annual visits for the first time.
The surge of website visits represented a 23% increase over 2022’s visits, which set the previous record. The increase was powered by a combination of Orange County’s many assets, County Executive Steven Neuhaus’ Four Seasons Campaign to promote year-round tourism and marketing strategies from the Tourism Department.
“A county with as many popular destinations as Orange County, N.Y., needs a dynamic, easy-to-use website to serve as the virtual gateway and roadmap for our visitors,” said Amanda Dana, Director of Orange County Tourism and Film. “Not only have we improved our website with eye-catching photos, easy-to-navigate webpages, and personal itinerary creation, but we have implemented creative marketing strategies successfully driving traffic to our site. Planning your trip has never been easier!”
“In Orange County, we have a unique blend of charming downtowns, natural beauty, fun activities for all and opportunities for escape, exploration and relaxation,” Neuhaus said. “Making investments in Orange County Tourism’s website and a variety of other marketing initiatives have led to success on many different levels. Reaching one million visits to this tourism gateway in one year is a testament to our incredible county, which is rich with fun-filled tourism assets.”
Orange County recently enhanced the website in collaboration with Focus Media, the tourism office’s Goshen, N.Y.-based public relations agency of record, and ITI Digital, a software solutions and digital service pioneer serving the travel industry. The site gives visitors access to everything they need within a single website – making trip planning a breeze. The upgrades created a dynamic look and through integration with Google Places, added features such as interactive GPS-enabled itineraries, and automated real-time dynamic content. The Tourism website has gone beyond a portal of static content and engages visitors to easily customize an itinerary for visiting Orange County, N.Y.!
Strategies utilized to increase traffic to the website include targeted digital advertising, social media advertising and organic growth, and calendar listings with more eye-catching photographs. The function for creating personal itineraries guides users through a simple process that suggests points of interest, places to eat and anything else the prospective visitor seeks. A highlight is the craft beverage section, which was expanded into a distinct microsite within the larger site, with profiles and videos of the breweries, wineries, distilleries and cideries.
Among the site’s additions are:
- The Taste the Craft Trail Pass
- The Family Fun Trail Pass
- A new travel guide
- A wealth of new videos that include top destinations, craft beverage locations, family fun opportunities and more.
A steady stream of press releases posted to the website, with images, adds another dimension to promoting the county’s assets while maximizing search engine optimization (SEO). Images and landing pages are updated quarterly to showcase the seasons and offer a fresh look. Email sign-ups and travel guide request forms create strong calls to action and user interaction.
“Our strategic and innovative improvements continue to drive visitors to the website,” Dana said. “We invite you to check out orangetourism.org’s many offerings, and of course, to visit Orange County, N.Y., for good times and great memories.”

First ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ Bobble Unveiled
This morning, to celebrate National Bobblehead Day, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobble featuring the landmark “Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, which is located in the median at 5100 Las Vegas Boulevard South, just to the south of the Las Vegas Strip. The limited-edition bobble is being released in conjunction with National Bobblehead Day, which is celebrated annually on January 7th. We’re celebrating starting today with dozens of new bobblehead releases including this new bobble. The special edition bobble is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.
The colorful bobble features a replica of the mounted sign on a circular green base just like the decorative artificial turf that is found below the actual landmark. The front of the sign reads “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada,” while the back reads: “Drive Carefully Come Back Soon.” The bobble is currently available exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbles, which are expected to ship in February, are $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
Funded in May 1959 and erected soon after by Western Neon, the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign has been a fixture in the median at 5100 Las Vegas Boulevard South ever since. The 25-foot landmark, which cost $4,000 to build, was designed by Betty Willis, an employee of Western Neon. Officially nominated by the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office, the National Park Service approved the designation of having the sign listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 1st, 2009. It was added to the State Register of Historic Places on December 6th, 2013. Some consider the sign to be the official end of the Las Vegas Strip. However, the sign, like most of The Strip, sits in Paradise, Nevada, and is located roughly 4 miles south of the actual city limits of Las Vegas.
Popular among tourists, the classic roadside pole design is mounted offset on two flat poles which are joined by a crosspiece at the top. The poles extend above the top of the sign. The sign is a horizontally stretched diamond shape, with the top and bottom angles pointed while the side angles are rounded. It is double backed, internally lit, with a border of flashing and chasing incandescent bulbs outside around the perimeter. In a nod to Nevada’s nickname as “The Silver State,” across the top of the sign are white neon circles, designed to represent silver dollars. The circles each contain a red painted letter, outlined in neon, which together form the word “Welcome.” Crowning the sign, located between the two poles and just under the crosspiece is an eight-pointed, red-painted metal star outline with yellow neon.
The intersecting vertical and horizontal lines of the star extend over and wrap around the frame that is created by the two poles and the crosspiece, which give the star a dynamic, explosive appearance. The south side of the sign reads “Welcome” inside the silver dollars with “To Fabulous” in blue, in a 1950s-style cursive underneath. The words “Las Vegas” are on the next line in all red, all capitalized, and large, almost filling the width of the sign. Under “Las Vegas” is the word “Nevada in blue, all capitalized, in a much smaller font. On the back or north side, which is less frequently photographed, the sign reads “Drive” on the top line and “Carefully” on the second in red capital letters, with “Come Back” in blue on the third line, in script, and Soon” all capitalized in blue on the fourth line.
“We are excited to unveil the first bobble of the iconic ‘Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas” sign – one of the most historic Las Vegas landmarks,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The sign has gained so much popularity, it has become a go-to stop for tourists. This bobble will be a must-have for Las Vegas natives, residents, and visitors!”
About the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum:
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located at 170 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened to the public on February 1st, 2019. The HOF and Museum also produces high quality, customized bobbleheads for retail sale as well as organizations, individuals, and teams across the country.
