Is your business getting its fair share of the $2 billion spent by tourists in SLO County every year?
– Tourism keeps our communities economically vibrant and growing. Annual tourist spending in San Luis Obispo County has surged to an unprecedented $2.15 billion with over 7 million visitors, according to a report from Visit SLO CAL.
“Now is the best time to set up your business for a successful 2025 by directing your marketing to tourists,” says Scott Brennan, publisher of the San Luis Obispo County Visitors Guide.
Advertisers have an opportunity to have a feature story written about them in the magazine. “We’d love to tell tourists more about your business,” Brennan says.
The magazine is the region’s No. 1 tourist magazine with 140,000 readers around San Luis Obispo County. It’s published four times a year.
The visitors’ guide features local wine tasting, restaurants, attractions, spas, lodging, shopping, art galleries, museums, golf courses, and events throughout its 100+ pages. A favorite feature for tourists is the comprehensive wine-tasting maps.
Distribution of the guide is focused on over 650 hotels, wineries, restaurants, and attractions. “We deliver the guide to the hot spots where tourists will find it,” Brennan said. Over 250 San Luis Obispo County businesses advertise annually, providing travelers with valuable information.
The SLO County Visitors Guide covers San Luis Obispo, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, Oceano, Arroyo Grande, Nipomo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Cayucos, Cambria, San Simeon, Santa Margarita, Atascadero, Templeton, Paso Robles and San Miguel.
