Ithaca/Tompkins County Convention & Visitors Bureau Q1 2015 Report From the Director, Bruce Stoff -- In what is a traditionally known as a slow quarter of the year for tourism, the CVB took the spotlight nationwide with a carefully planned PR campaign that might have told people to go to Key West.

Not only is PR breaking records, but YTD occupancy rate is in the green. Up 2.3% YoY, it's the combined result of a stellar effort from all three CVB departments, Group Sales, Marketing and Visitors Services.
