Ranked the 13th most dog-friendly city in the nation, Annapolis (& Anne Arundel County) has invited all pet lovers to “Bring Your Pets to Play” there during National Tourism Week May 7 to 15. Recognizing the fact that 49-percent of U.S. adult leisure travelers consider pets to be a part of the family, and 18-percent of this same group usually take their pets with them when they travel, the Annapolis & Anne Arundel County Conference and Visitors Bureau (AAACCVB) will help to make traveling with four-legged friends in tow more enjoyable than ever during National Tourism Week.
AAACCVB President and CEO Connie Del Signore says it is fitting that Annapolis roll out the red carpet for its four-legged friends during National Tourism Week. “We welcome pets to Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay, and we’ll be spreading the word in a special way with events, contests, giveaways, and activities that thank pet owners for choosing our destination.”
The AAACCVB will be celebrating resident and visiting furry friends throughout the month of May.
Throughout National Tourism Week, pet owners are invited to stop by the AAACCVB’s 26 West Street Visitors Center to pick up doggy treats provided compliments of Paws Pet Boutique and bandanas sponsored by Peppers.
