DiscoverNewport Sales Manager Chris Siravo, Senior Communications Manager Andrea McHugh, and CEO & President Evan Smith met with Sowams Heritage Area Project Coordinator Dave Weed met to discuss possible collaborations. DiscoverNewport leads travel and tourism development and marketing in nine coastal communities, including Bristol, Warren and Barrington, part of the Sowams Heritage Area. The four of them discussed ways to provide information and access to history tours within East Bay Rhode Island that can offer innovative and authentic experiences that will enrich the lives of both local residents and visitors. The group is looking forward to working together toward that end over the coming months.
