May has been designated Tourism Month by the City of Vallejo, so here are a few interesting Vallejo tourism factoids…

The Vallejo CVB’s new web site has been receiving rave reviews since its launch in May, 2007.  Out new site has also become the unofficial site for Vallejo special events. And through March 31, 2008 visits to our new site have totalled over 35, 500 unique visitors each spending over 3 minutes.  That’s an increase of more than 50% versus a year ago! Of course, visits to the site from California rank #1, but a significant amount came from Texas, New York, Washington and Oregon.

   

Through February 29th of this fiscal year, the Vallejo CVB assisted in the booking of more than 5500 room nights and contributed more than $8.35 (ROI) in economic spending for every $1 from our city funding sources!
