The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism is distributing $286,351 to eight Western Massachusetts agencies and organizations in a program to bolster the tourism industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito said during a streamed announcement that as difficult as the pandemic has been, the inability to enjoy the state’s special character through tourism and visitation has created a new appreciation for what has always been there.
