It's Visitors Guide Time!

Spring is here and that means we are gearing up to produce the next edition of our print Guide to MetroWest, the go-to resource for travelers, residents, and businesses looking to explore all that our region has to offer. We distribute 60K+ print copies all over MA, RI, CT, ME, NY, NJ, & PA, plus digital copies via our website…and you can be featured! Here's how:

  1. Join the Visitors Bureau: Gold and Platinum members are guaranteed to be featured in the guide as an itinerary stop, attraction, recommended restaurant, hotel or other call out AT NO ADDITIONAL COST! Silver and Bronze members are included as space allows. Learn more about membership here


  2. Sponsor a Content Page: Create more visibility by sponsoring an itinerary spread or content article in the guide…sponsorship includes your logo and URL as well as inclusion of your business as a recommended spot in that 2-page spread. Learn more here


  3. Place a Display Ad: For the greatest visibility, place a 1/4 page, 1/2 page or full page display ad within the guide. Limited advertising space brings more attention to YOU! Learn more and reserve your space here.


This is a prime opportunity to get in front of a highly engaged audience! Act now, as space is limited. Contracts are due by June 30, 2025 to reserve your space. See this year's guide here.
