KINGSTON – Moving into the warmer weather and increasingly less restrictive COVID mandates, Ulster County Tourism has announced their strategy for 2021, which will rely heavily on social and digital media marketing with an aggressive approach to web surfers planning trips.
Tourism Director of Tourism Lisa Berger said the county will be analyzing analytics such as viewer retention on video ads, clicks, impressions and usage of their book direct feature from the county’s website. The county has also focused on investment in travel data analytics, all in an effort to target users with search data pointing towards their intention to visit the county.

New York Times best-seller will be developed across film, television and podcasting. The book is synopsized as an essential exploration of why and how women s sexuality works, based on groundbreaking research and brain science.

For this year’s look back at the 2020 year in theater, I found it impossible to choose a top 10, since there’s no way to compare the work produced onstage before a live audience with shows presented on Zoom and Facebook Live, or filmed plays.

The Suncoast Black Arts Collaborative, a nonprofit promoting using the unifying power of the arts to nurture inclusion and diversity, has been around since 2017.

âWe got some new board members in February, and we have done a lot of work since then,â says Redwine. That includes receiving their 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation, updating their branding and their website (suncoastblackartscollaborative.org) and, perhaps most intriguing, establishing a new series called the Arts and Racial Justice Panel series that will provide a forum for artists and arts and civic leaders to engage in dialogue.
