State Senator Patty Ritchie joined local tourism stakeholders in Clayton earlier this week, where the group discussed what can be done to draw more visitors to the region.

The meeting was held in advance of the Empire State Tourism Conference, a three day event held in Clayton that brought together tourism industry leaders from throughout the state.   

Also attending the Clayton luncheon was Rochester area Senator Rich Funke, who chairs the Senate Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks & Recreation Committee, which Senator Ritchie serves on.
