I just received your new magazine today, it’s awesome. It’s a great help for us at the front desk. My favorite part of the magazine was all the maps! Keep up the good work, it’s appreciated!" Corliss Di Caprio, John Wayne Aiport, Public Affairs "The John Wayne Airport staff is very pleased with your magazine’s new look. The maps are so very helpful and with all the information and coupons, it is a great deal for the traveling public. Delivery is very prompt when we run out. A big “thank you”. We are glad to have your magazine and hope our relationship last for many years." Patrick Hynes, Concierge, The Balboa Bay Club & Resort "Since its inception I have found WELCOME to Southern California Magazine of tremendous value to our hotel guests and travelers. They find the clear, easy-to-read maps very useful and especially like the “close-up” walking map of the Disneyland Resort and the locations of all the beaches in our beautiful part of the world. Golfers appreciate the detailed descriptions in your Golf Directory and families enjoy the up-to-the-minute listing of currents attractions and events. The colorful graphics and printing is of the highest quality." Tom Tobey, Waterfront Hilton, Huntington Beach "I'm very complimentary of the magazine's new look. I hand it out all the time, as does my assistant concierge. There might be a possibility we could place WELCOME to SoCal in our rooms." Lance Enos, Manager, Extended Stay America - John Wayne Airport "Our guests love having the WELCOME magazine to check out events in the area. I know they enjoy the easy to read format and the colorful advertisments throughout every issue. Please continue to supply us each and every new issue! Thank you!" Carrie Driscoll, Radisson Newport Beach "We rely on WELCOME to help and inform our guests. It is a very useful magazine with lots of colorful articles and great maps, I really love the new maps!" Betty Galzen, Marriott in Fashion Island. "I hand it out the new WELCOME frequently to our guests. I am extremely complimentary of your new format and spend a lot of time reading through it. Can we receive more copies..."
