New Campaign: Portland is Calling
Visit Portland recently launched a social media campaign called “Portland Is Calling.” The campaign encourages people to call in and leave messages of their Portland, Maine, vacation memories or tell us why they would like to visit. Messages will then be able to be used in future campaigns.
Three lucky callers will win a one-night stay, restaurant gift card, and attraction pass. Thank you to our participating partners. Learn more
