To celebrate National Travel and Tourism Week, volunteers picked up trash, laid mulch and did other landscaping to beautify one of Hattiesburg’s most visited outdoor attractions.
“I love the effort to do this at VisitHATTIESBURG. Again, it’s all about the community, it’s all about the people of our city,” said Holiday Inn General Manager David Coello. said.
“In addition to recognizing those working on the front lines of our industry, we also know that tourism starts right here in our backyards,” says Kristen Brock of VisitHATTIESBURG. “We know that our community comes to Longleaf Trace and really enjoys this facility. So we want to give back to them and take pride in the attractions we have in our area. You can also prepare it for the coming visitors.
