Philly’s tourism agency changes its name to Visit Philadelphia

The city’s tourism agency is now called Visit Philadelphia, according to a release. The name stems from the agency’s website, visitphilly.com, which is the country’s best trafficked tourism site.

The agency’s previous name was a mouthful: the Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation. This is years in coming: from when the group changed its primary domain to VisitPhilly.com.
