Why advertise with us?

Our publications are nothing short of an institution in southern Maine. Tourist & Town (formerly Tourist News) newspaper has been serving York County since 1958 with arts, entertainment and lifestyle information. In the winter of 2020, the first Tourist & Town Magazine was published. This glossy, keepsake publication prints twice annually.

Established, trusted, and award-winning, our publications are known for high aesthetic standards, excellent journalism, a sincere commitment to advertisers, and a spirit of goodwill always.

Purchasing ads with us is so much more than purchasing a 'parking space.' It is entering into an ongoing advertising relationship, in which we offer our advertisers the opportunity to share business news, special event information, business trivia, and so much more. We also provide social media exposure to all of our advertising businesses. None of these services incur additional costs for the advertiser. It's simply our way of supporting our advertising 'family' and maximizing exposure for their businesses.

Our publications have a unique lifespan as 'keepsake' publications. This unique shelf life is wonderful news for advertisers and readers alike, as our publications are so much more than a one-time read. (Our readers refer to our magazine, in fact, as a coffee table 'book' rather than a magazine!)

By utilizing a combination of local distribution and direct mail, our publications cast a wider net than any publications of our kind in York County. All issues are available online as well, at no additional cost for our advertisers.

To come on board with us is to come on board with a trusted and established publishing house, one that is committed to serving local businesses by helping them succeed.
