Visit Fairfax kicked off the new year by hosting a Familiarization Tour on January 7, 2019. With 20 attendees from various leading tour and receptive operator companies, the FAM participants included top student and adult group tour operators as well as inbound Chinese and Korean receptive operators. The FAM highlighted attractions in Southern Fairfax County including Mount Vernon, The Workhouse Arts Center and the National Museum of the United States Army. At Mount Vernon, participants were treated to an immersive “Be Washington” experience, watched the newly updated 4D feature film and opted for a tour of the “Lives Bound Together” exhibit or a very customized tour of the mansion. The Workhouse hosted a “murder mystery lunch” for the group with lunch catered by the National Museum of the United States Army and its caterer, Flik. At the Museum of the Army, attendees enjoyed a sneak peek hard hat tour of the premises.
