Discover Newport News Like Never Before with Our New Digital Platform 

Newport News, August 22, 2024 – Newport News Tourism is pleased to announce the launch of a new website and URL, www.visitnewportnews.com. It was designed by Simpleview, a digital marketing agency that serves more than 1,000 tourism organizations worldwide, such as Las Vegas, San Francisco, Canada, Panama, Virginia Beach, and Anchorage. 

Because websites are often a visitor’s first impression of a destination, we’re excited about having an expertly designed site that will serve as a personalized gateway to all the amazing things Newport News has to offer. This isn’t just another website: It’s a dynamic, user-friendly platform designed with both visitors and our tourism partners in mind. 

For visitors, the new website offers seamless navigation, allowing users to fully immerse themselves in experiencing Newport News. It features stunning, high-resolution photographs that capture the essence of the city while providing clear calls to action, such as subscribing to our newsletter, requesting a visitor guide, and signing up for our weekly event reminders. Listings are laid out in a way that make navigation intuitive, while trip itineraries inspire visitors to craft unforgettable experiences here. 

Additionally, as users are exploring the site, they can click either “Add to Trip Builder” or the heart icon to keep track of their favorite things. These places and events will then populate on the “Trip Builder” page, which can be digitally shared with family and friends! 

For our tourism partners, the site includes an extranet, dubbed The Bridge, designed to connect the hospitality industry with each other and the Visit Newport News tourism office. Within this portal, our partners can update their own listings, add images, and submit special events. Partners can also use it to see how website users are interacting with their information on the site.
