| Dear
Lindsey,
Happy Labor Day! This week the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, The
Lighthouse Inn, The Red Jacket Resorts, Cape Cod Potato Chips, and
Clancy's of West Yarmouth made a trip up to the Massachusetts Office
of Travel and Tourism in Boston to thank them for their continued
support of Cape Cod. We fed approx. 22 people that included sales
and visitor information specialists.
We showcased Cape Cod and then Clancy's of West Yarmouth (owner
Dan Keefe and executive chef Scott Allen) put on a great show. They
made the lobster rolls right there and served homemade chowder. We
also served Cape Cod Potato Chips and homemade chocolate chip
cookies from The Lighthouse Inn.) All food and services were
donated. CAPE COD certainly made its mark in Boston. Thanks to all
that made this happen ESPECIALLY to the CLANCY'S TEAM. The MOTT team
also told us that no other RTC -or anyone for that matter- has ever
been to the MOTT office to showcase their region!

| Advertising Opportunities in Cape Cod Chamber
publications |
 |
| Advertising rates for all Cape Cod
Chamber publication have all been set and mailed out.
The Official Guide to Cape Cod is our number one tourism
guide. Bar none the most recognized, requested and most
complete vacation planning directory on Cape Cod. We
distribute hundreds of thousands annually on the Cape at ALL
information centers and high traffic locations. In the past
five months we have sent 36,898 directories to qualified
visitors coming to Cape Cod. This is an ideal advertising
source for those members that provide accommodations,
foodservice, shopping, transportation etc.
The Official Cape Cod Golf Guide is in its fifth year of
publication and it continues to grow and expand. It is,
without a doubt, the hidden gem of advertising possibilities
for Cape businesses. Over the past two years, its circulation
has more than tripled from its initial run of 30,000 copies.
It is aimed at the regional golfer who is interested in
playing in one of the most unique golfing regions in the
country. Cape Cod has 30 golf courses available for public
play. Those numbers translate into 1.8 million rounds of golf
per year generating over $350 million to the overall Cape Cod
economy. The game appeals to people of all walks of life, but
is particularly appealing to those people who are deemed to
have the most discretionary income in our society. With Cape
Cod Chamber of Commerce attendance at no less than eight
consumer golf shows throughout the winter and spring, these
guides are made directly available to folks from Philadelphia
to Toronto, Montreal, Portland, Boston and the Greater New
York City area. Last year over 115,000 people attended the
shows at which the Chamber had a presence and was distributing
the Golf Guide.
