Fayette County is very historic and consists of 798 square miles. Promoting Tourism is one of the ways Fayette County can capitalize on getting tourists to come and visit our region. By making each visitor experience extraordinary, heritage destinations and those who directly interact with visitors have the opportunity to profoundly impact a visitor's travel experience and our community's bottom line. Knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly interaction can positively attract a visitor's decision to stay longer, leave singing the praises of their terrific experience, make return visits, and share their good experiences with others - each a critical ingredient for increased and enhanced tourism.

The Connellsville Ambassador Program is a ground breaking program that serves to increase tourism by training and inspiring front-line hospitality employees, volunteers, and residents to work together to turn every visitor encounter into a positive experience. This program gives participants the opportunity to build upon their knowledge of the local region, enhance their skills in serving customers, increase their awareness of information resources and discover the power of tourism.

Tourists and visitors are coming to the Fayette County area. Some are in search of a quiet vacation spot, some in search of history, and some are in search of outdoor adventures. Whatever their reason for coming, just remember that first impressions are lasting ones. We want those visitors to enjoy their vacation in the area, come back often, and tell their friends back home what a great area this is to visit. 

A good communicator and knowledgeable resident go a long way in bringing those tourist dollars back to our community. Knowledge is the key to success and learning through this Ambassador Program is the one step that you can take to give back to your community in a positive way.
