GoSeeArizona.com Provides User-Generated Content for Arizona Visitors

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thousands of visitors from across the United States are traveling to Arizona to enjoy Cactus League spring training games. To connect with these visitors, several Arizona tourism leaders worked with GoSeeTell Network in developing GoSeeArizona.com, a new social networking travel Web site.

GoSeeArizona.com provides personalized recommendations for hotels, restaurants, attractions and activities for more than 200 Arizona destinations. The site offers ratings, reviews, photos, videos and other user-generated content created and shared by Arizona visitors and residents. Recommendations are generated by identifying Arizona experiences that are highly rated by like-minded travelers.

Arizona offers visitors an unmatched variety of attractions and experiences, said Martin Stoll, president and CEO of GoSeeTell Network. With so many options for outdoor adventure and sports, culture and heritage, arts and other attractions, it is important for travelers to find the activities that match their personal lifestyles.

Partners on the project include the Scottsdale Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), the Greater Phoenix CVB, the Tempe CVB, the Mesa CVB, the Metropolitan Tucson CVB, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Canyon Chamber of Commerce, the City of Chandler, and the Arizona Office of Tourism.

We are happy to support the efforts of our tourism partners in this project, said Margie A. Emmermann, director of the Arizona Office of Tourism. Visitors are our best spokespeople.
