“We are happy to partner with EveryTrail to enable visitors to enjoy the richness of the town and the surrounding area in a way that only a local guide could otherwise make possible,” said Al Smiles, executive director for the Seaside Chamber of Commerce. “In fact, the great content that our organization and the knowledgeable staff already had, such as great dining and brew pub itineraries, trail and event information, pictures, audio and video clips, was heavily used in the creation of the app. We are also excited to engage with visitors on this immediate and individualized platform-an opportunity enabled by EveryTrail’s web and mobile technology. Our partnership with EveryTrail will help us communicate with visitors before, during and after their visits.”
