Turism&Travel : Visit California launches new television commercial

Tuesday 27 September 2011

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
– Visit California's ‘Out There' advertising campaign launches today, featuring California's original celebrities – the Golden State's diverse rural landscapes. These breathtaking vistas play a starring role as the commercials showcase how visitors can experience California's outdoor lifestyle.

“We're encouraging travelers to ‘find yourself here' in California, in new ways,” said Caroline Beteta, Visit California president and chief executive officer. “Our new campaign highlights California's experience-rich and visually stunning rural areas which are eager to roll out the red carpet for visitors. It's a great compliment to our past campaigns which feature iconic California urban destinations and celebrities.”

Launching across the United States on Monday, September 26, the new TV spot showcases the broad range of experiences available throughout the state, from Humboldt County in the north to Palm Springs in the south: hot air balloon above the vineyards of Southern California's Temecula Valley, surf the perfect wave at Morro Bay on the central California coast or cast a line in Shasta Cascade's Fall River.

“Travelers continue to seek unique experiences and California's rural areas offer an abundance of options,” said Beteta. “A vacation here will leave both the most experienced rock climber and the novice outdoor explorer eager to witness more of the state's natural beauty and our California lifestyle.”

Tourism plays a vital role in California's rural regions. In 2010, tourism to all areas outside of San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles Counties and the greater San Francisco Bay Area attributed to $31,940,000 in visitor spending, generating $518,000 in local tax collection and supporting 352,300 jobs.
