Web Site Database Training

Learn how to update your area attractions, accommodations, outdoor recreation facilities, etc., by going online and entering your information directly into the single database that drives the state's official tourism web site, www.VisitMississippi.org. If you cannot attend structured training sessions, we have had great success in training over the phone. We can also have you come into the Jackson office and train, at your convenience.
