Montgomery County VA Regional Tourism is thrilled to unveil its cutting-edge Virtual Visitor Center, a groundbreaking platform to revolutionize tourism planning and engagement. The Virtual Visitor Center promises to transform how residents and visitors explore and connect with the county’s vibrant attractions, events, and activities.

In a recent interview, Executive Director David Rotenizer shared his insights and motivation behind launching this innovative project, highlighting its potential benefits for the local community and tourism experiences. David shared that the concept of the Virtual Visitor Center captivated him from the first presentation he received. “It was a game changer in many senses of the term,” shared Rotenizer. Connecting cutting-edge technology to local community stakeholders and partners has challenged every tourism office. New initiatives such as the VVC are here to change this landscape.”  According to Rotenizer, the new Virtual Visitor Center is already generating an impact in Montgomery County.

Benefits for visitors and residents of Montgomery County:

The Virtual Visitor Center offers real-time content delivery in a customizable format tailored to the destination’s specific needs. In public and group presentations, David emphasized that the Virtual Visitor Center is a transformative tool: “First, it is taking advantage of the new and emerging DXP technology and providing a useful practical application customized locally. It shares the burden of delivering the timely event and attraction information in digital format between the tourism office and the various event organizers and attraction hosts.”

Virtual Visitor Center Impact on Staff Workload:

Through the capabilities of geo-fencing and searches, the staff of Montgomery County VA Regional Tourism has significantly improved access and insight into more attractions, activities, and events in the community.  Rotenizer says “It makes the community a more engaged partner in the program through the magic and power of digital geo-fencing. With a 72-hour “sweep” for events and 14 days for Google Places, it is as close to real-time content delivery as possible, aside from sitting behind a keyboard 24/7”.

Partnering with ITI Digital

Montgomery County Virtual Visitor Center is powered by ITI Digital. For over 25 years, ITI Digital has worked with destinations across the U.S. to promote economic development through tourism marketing in the domestic and international markets. The Destination Experience Platform by ITI Digital simplifies web content management through automation and cutting-edge technology in order to create better online user experiences.  David Rotenizer shares: “The agency has a good reputation with other clients. They have been very accommodating and supportive of the program’s needs and limitations – and a willingness to help overcome/accommodate the latter”.

Virtual Visitor Center as Part of the Post-pandemic Recovery Plan

As part of the recovery and development of the tourism program following the pandemic, the Virtual Visitor Center is at the core of a new and exciting direction for the community’s tourism program. The Virtual Visitor Center benefits the local community as well as visitors. The Virtual Visitor Center should be viewed as an evolving platform – it can enhance, develop, and customize delivery based on real-time needs and experiences.
