Visit Dana Point debuted in 2016 as a new
non-profit and official destination marketing organization (DMO) for south
Orange County, California. Four Dana Point resorts in cooperation with the City
marketed Dana Point previously with the goal of one day creating an entity to grow local tourism.
"The We are pleased to introduce it to
the community and our all-important visitors just in time for summer," said Jim
Samuels, General Manager, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, and the newly
elected Chairman of the Board of Visit Dana Point. Other elected officers on the
Board of Directors represent DoubleTree Suites by
Hilton-Doheny Beach; Monarch Beach Resort; and The Ritz Carlton,
Laguna Niguel.
According to Dana Point's mayor, the City anticipates Visit Dana Point
will bring global recognition to the community.
Visit Dana Point joins other DMO's in the OC tourism scene including Visit
Anaheim, Visit Newport Beach, Visit Laguna Beach, Visit Orange County and the
statewide organization Visit California.
Dana Point is located along South Orange County's extraordinary Coastal region halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego with easy access via air, ocean or major freeways. Known as the whale watching capital of the west, Dana Point Harbor, the Marina and the Ocean Institute provide for world-class boating, marine science education experiences and interactive water adventures.
