South Jersey Tourism Corp.

From today's Inquirer, "More than the Shore," by Tom Belden, an article describing the South Jersey Tourism Corp.

Her little-known three-year-old agency is charged with attracting visitors to the Camden waterfront, the Pinelands preserve, burgeoning retail development, and dozens of historic sites and quaint towns in five southern New Jersey counties along the east bank of the Delaware River.

For history buffs, the tourism agency this year created a tour of Camden landmarks associated with its most celebrated 19th-century resident, Walt Whitman. The agency points out that two river towns, Burlington City and Salem, which have their own tourism-promotion efforts, were founded before Philadelphia was in 1682 and offer tours of their historic districts.
