CHICAGO CONVENTION &TOURISM BUREAU AND
TIME OUT CHICAGO MAGAZINE REVEAL WHAT’S HOT IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO, August 5, 2008—The Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau (CCTB) has partnered with Time Out Chicago magazine to enrich the HotSpots web content on the CCTB’s choosechicago.com website. Annually, this website receives more than three million visits from visitors and residents seeking information about Chicago’s events.
HotSpots, now exclusively powered by Time Out Chicago, is one of the most visited sections of the website. As a result of the partnership, HotSpots now features editorial content in 14 categories highlighting what’s new, what’s now and what’s next in Chicago for visitors and residents. From Art & Design to Restaurants & Bars and from Shopping to Music to Theater, Hotspots is a direct connection to the City’s world-class assets.
“This collaboration will help us to strategically promote Chicago’s amazing offerings to residents and visitors,” said Donna Shaw, CCTB Vice President, Marketing and Communications. “We look forward to many more new opportunities with Time Out Chicago as we move forward in marketing Chicago as a global visitor destination.”
“It’s a privilege to partner with the CCTB and its efforts to promote what Chicago offers to its residents and visitors,” says David Garland, Publisher for Time Out Chicago. “There is so much going on in this city, and it’s not always easy to keep up with everything, unless you have a really good source for information. We are delighted that the CCTB chose Time Out Chicago to be its voice when it comes to showcasing the many cultural activities in Chicago.”
