The Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association's communications team works closely with travel writers, national and international press, convention trade media and the local media to develop stories on Baltimore. The department aggressively promotes Baltimore by helping the press gather information and set up itineraries. The staff also produces familiarization tours throughout the year so the visiting press can get a close-up look at this wonderful city. In addition, the department manages a comprehensive photo library that is available to the media. These spectacular slides showcase Baltimore's Inner Harbor, unique neighborhoods, one-of-a-kind museums and attractions and award-winning restaurants.
