Visitors and residents of Hopkinsville and Christian County now have another valuable resource at their fingertips. Cheryl Cook, Executive Director, for the Convention & Visitors Bureau announced recently that the mobile website is available on all smart phones at www.visithopkinsville.com. The Pew Research Center shows that 35% of American adults own a smart phone. Of those adults owning a smart phone, 87% use it to access the internet or e-mail. 

The new site gives visitors a way to find: Events, What to Do, Where to Eat, and Where to Sleep from their smart phones. The “What to Do” section enables users to find out about the area’s many wonderful attractions – from the numerous outdoor recreational areas to the museums displaying the heritage of southwest Kentucky, Fort Campbell, and Edgar Cayce. 

The “Events” lets them know about youth and adult sports tournaments, festivals and celebrations around Hopkinsville. 

The Visitors Bureau launched their weekly e-newsletter “Christian County This Weekend” in October 2008. The newsletter which comes out on Wednesday morning includes events for the weekend, a list of upcoming events, and ongoing events. Email tourism@visithopkinsville.com to sign up for Christian County This Weekend.

In August of 2010 the CVB announced the Visit Hopkinsville App that residents or tourists can download for free using their Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. 

The Convention and Visitors Bureau is the official Destination Marketing Organization for Hopkinsville and Christian County and is responsible for generating incremental economic benefit to the community through the attraction of leisure travel, conventions, trade shows, and group tour visits.   Our overall goal is to ensure a positive visitor experience by providing the most detailed information and the ultimate customer service.
