Cincinnati Getting Tourism Attention

Cincinnati is getting a flood of recognition from national travel and arts publications for the first time since it started trying to improve its image after the 2001 race riots.

In the past few months, the Zagat Survey, AmericanStyle magazine, the American Automobile Association and other groups have cited the quality and affordability of Cincinnati’s arts, entertainment, shopping, dining and lodging, and its success as a family-friendly tourist destination.

Several attractions received high marks in the recent U.S. Family Travel Guide published by Zagat Survey in association with Parenting Magazine. The ratings resulted from a poll of more than 11,000 travelers who were asked to rate family-oriented attractions on child appeal, adult appeal, public facilities, service and cost.
