There is always an opportunity to join the tourism industry conversation in Maine's Aroostook County. Aroostook County Tourism (ACT) is a nonprofit organization managed by a board of 12 volunteer directors, this group meets at 10-11:00 AM on the last Thursday of every month with the exception of December and July. The ACT general business meetings are public and all are welcome to attend. Here is a list of upcoming meetings taking place in Aroostook County and a few we recommend outside of the region.

We are working together to grow tourism in northern Maine.

Do you realize there is always an advertisement displaying to invite people to visit the Crown of Maine? That is right, 365 days a year social media advertisements, search engine marketing, broadcast, and print marketing are circling your invitation to potential visitors influencing their travel decision.
