Keystone Society for Tourism

The Pennsylvania Tourism Office is now seeking nominations for the Keystone Society for Tourism. The Keystone Society for Tourism was established to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to tourism in Pennsylvania.

Uses

This is the highest honor our state can confer on tourism leaders in Pennsylvania. Each recipient will be presented with a unique original work of art by one of Pennsylvania’s finest artists, and each one’s name will be inscribed on a plaque on permanent display in the offices of the Department of Community and Economic Development. In addition, each recipient receives an attractive keystone medallion on a ribbon of the state’s emblematic colors of blue and gold indicating the year and category of their induction. Thus inductees to the Keystone Society for Tourism represent a perpetuating roster of catalytic agents who will continue to influence the field and insure that the Commonwealth maintains its status as a premier destination and a model for community and economic development.
