Milwaukee CVB Offers Virtual Visits

<H1> Milwaukee CVB Offers Virtual Visits</H1>The Greater Milwaukee Convention and Visitors Bureau is releasing a CD-ROM and launching its own Web page. While both projects are currently in the planning stages, Internet-savvy travel managers have several options for getting more detailed information about Milwaukee from the World Wide Web.

One site is maintained by the computer science department at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Users can download two videos that serve as introductions to the city. Pictures also are available, as is a gopher that leads browsers to information on different area attractions (www.cs.uwm.edu/milw_info.html).

Also, users should check out Exec-PC, an Internet access company that provides several Milwaukee-information Web pages. The first is called "The Milwaukee Web" and is self-described as "a collection of Milwaukee's coolest links" (www.execpc.com/milwaukee).

"Milwaukee On Line" is another useful resource. In addition to an extensive list of links, this site contains contact information for hotels and city highlights. Also helpful is a "What's New?" section and a "Facts" section that provides a long list of helpful phone numbers and information, including city and airport maps (www.execpc.com/~trilux).
