- Our state has made tremendous strides in the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic. As most state-mandated restrictions are lifted due to New York's landmark 70% vaccination rate, we'll continue to see more New Yorkers Roaming the Empire this summer.

NYS Events at Full Capacity:
The revival of our state has already started to come alive within social media. Many of the much-loved NYS traditions have announced their opening to full capacity this summer, like the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse and the Renaissance Festival in Tuxed. We've caught on to these big announcements, but have we missed yours?
Tag @RoamTheEmpire in your post or email us directly to let us know of your destination's big reopenings!
Test Your NYS Knowledge:
Stay tuned for trivia questions submitted by Tour Cayuga in the coming weeks on our Instagram and Facebook stories. We would love to tell you the topic, but we can't have everyone studying up on it before it goes live. 😉 Do you know what it might be?
Roaming Ahead:
Weekly Post Highlight:
From A to Z and everything in-between, our state is filled with exciting activities for every New Yorker. We were amazed at how Dutchess Tourism, Inc. captured this idea so beautifully in their new promo video. Check out their page to give it a watch!
We're loving each destination's COVID comeback stories and it has been such a pleasure to meet with different people from a variety of organizations. Don't be a stranger; send us an email if we can help your organization or destination out with social promotion in any way.
