Plan Online, Visit In Person
Westchester County Tourism & Film (WCTF) is helping its residents and tourists to discover all that Westchester has to offer. It has been putting together a series of virtual 360-degree tours for places throughout the county, including many arts destinations and cultural sites. WCTF Director Natasha Caputo says that “virtual technology and interactive visitor experiences are more important than ever for wanderlusters eager for new adventure.” Those interested in discovering Westchester can use their virtual visits to help them plan their summer arts outings before they venture out, planning online and then visiting in person.
