FAVE SOCIAL: Vermont is the first state to let citizens manage Twitter account with @ThisisVT

Published by:

The @ThisisVT Twitter handle launches today, organized by The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing with new authors tweeting weekly.

Vermont residents can now use an “official” Twitter account to share why they love to work, play and live in Vermont. This uncensored account is a first for the U.S. Both Sweden and The Netherlands were the first countries to launch such a campaign in 2012.

“Vermonters are unique, with equally unique reasons for why they live in, and love Vermont,” Deputy Commissioner Steve Cook said. “This social media platform offers a tremendous opportunity for Vermonters to showcase their experiences and the Vermont Tourism team aims to share these stories with visitors or those considering relocating to our state.”
