County leaders said one reason for the change is a new push for collaboration throughout the region.
"I think being a regional office where we represent both the towns and the county, having that collaboration is completely necessary to make our program function correctly," said regional tourism representative Irene Kilmer.
Leaders from across the area visited around 15 attractions as part of a Familiarization Tour Monday. The goal was to showcase what the area has to offer, so that information can be passed on to visitors.
