WILKES-BARRE, Pa. It s a tight fit inside the Luzerne County Visitors Bureau on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre.
Executive Director Ted Wampole says he and his staff have been so busy, they ve outgrown the space, largely because of tourism in the area.

We support 7,200 jobs, you know, and all that money that comes out people spend on hotels and restaurants and attractions.
