BALTIMORE (AP) - The state government is joining private businesses in launching a website promoting Maryland fishing and hunting opportunities.
The Maryland Office of Tourism announced the website Monday. It's called www.fishandhuntmaryland.com .
Cecil County Tourism Coordinator Sandy Maruchi-Turner says the website was created by a public-private coalition, the Sportsmen & Women's Marketing Initiative, after a survey last year indicated many people elsewhere were unfamiliar with Maryland hunting and fishing opportunities.
She says people who know about the wide variety of outdoor activities in Maryland are more likely to travel to the state to pursue them.
