A central Illinois Tourism Director is readying for the busy summer tourism season.

Whitney Ortiz is the Director of the Atlanta, Illinois Tourism Bureau and indicates the community sees a big infusion of tourists from outside the country. She points out there are a lot of attractions unique to Atlanta that make it a must-stop on Route 66 but she also encourages stops in other communities along the historic road. 

Ortiz indicates one of the unique things about working in tourism in Atlanta is the number of tourists from out of the country. She very much enjoys having those visitors back after a couple of years.

Ortiz is looking forward to having people coming back to Atlanta this spring with a full summer of activities. You can find more about Atlanta by visiting atlantaillinois.org or searching 'Atlanta, IL' on social media.
