Darke County Visitors
Bureau releases 2016 annual report
GREENVILLE, OH (February 15, 2016) – The Darke County Visitors Bureau
has released its 2016 Annual Report. The report can be accessed through
the Visitors Bureau’s website, www.VisitDarkeCounty.org, or by picking
up a printed copy at the Darke County Welcome Center, located at 421 S.
Broadway in Greenville.
“2016 was a banner year for us,” said Matthew Staugler, Executive
Director of the Darke County Visitors Bureau. “Between ten ‘Best of
Ohio’ awards around the county, record distribution of our visitors
guide, and outstanding results through our digital platforms, the
Visitors Bureau continues to grow and help our partners achieve
increased visibility and success. We’re fortunate to live in a terrific
county with amazing resources. We very much appreciate the support from
the Darke County Commissioners, the Village of Versailles, the City of
Greenville, and our private sector partners. Tourism drives over $65
million of economic activity to the county and is a very beneficial
industry, supporting 1 in 18 jobs.”
Some of the highlights include a more than 100% increase in visitor
guide distribution from 2014 to 2016, over 1.1 million digital
impressions via the Visitors Bureau’s Facebook page, and a continued
presence at tradeshows and events around the state.
The Darke County Visitors Bureau is a non-profit destination marketing
organization, whose mission is to share and enrich the stories and
destinations that make this county unique. For more information, visit
