HOLLAND (WHTC) – Visitors are flocking to Holland in droves this summer – that word from the head of the local Convention and Visitors Bureau. CVB Executive Director Sally Laukitis says hotel occupancy in the area is up this summer. She says not only are more people coming, but they’re staying longer too. She says visitors are getting their hands on the local calendar of events and visitors guide, with 650 more copies distributed to downtown businesses on Wednesday. Laukitis also says the Pure Michigan ads promoting Holland are also helping bring people into town, with about 10,000 leads alone coming from ads that ran in Oprah Winfrey’s “O” magazine.
