Visitors Bureau officials say Johnstown is a tourism destination, especially in the summer. They also say tourism has increased over the years.
“That’s our goal: to bring people into town, stimulate the economy so that our business owners and our attractions and our hotels are able to thrive and just get better,” said Olivia Bragdon, Communications Coordinator for the Greater Johnstown/Cambria County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
