When Sharon Franz isn’t juggling a variety of Steel Pier marketing projects, she’s busy with her presidential duties at the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s an extra busy week for Sharon as she preps to welcome hundreds of travel-industry professionals to Atlantic City on Thursday & Friday, March 3 & 4, 2016 for the annual New Jersey Conference on Tourism.<\/p>\n

This year, the event will be held at Resorts Casino Hotel on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, inside their new 15,000 square feet of convention space which opened last summer.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

FROM NJTV: Tourism is a bright spot in a state still lagging the nation in recovering from the Great Recession, growing almost 4 percent last year. It generated some 316,000 new jobs and brought in more than $42 billion. The New Jersey Division of Tourism and Travel study demonstrates a strong tourism economy despite the loss of four casinos. President of the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association<\/a> and Marketing Director for Steel Pier<\/a> in Atlantic City Sharon Franz spoke with NJTV News Anchor Mary Alice Williams about what this summer season holds for New Jersey.
