Techshare 3.0 is the new online tool to create, edit and share Maine tourism-related stories, events, deals and business listings on the following Maine tourism websites:
Business Listings Portal Unavailable
We are currently updating VisitMaine.com to bring you a new and improved experience. As part of this transition, this business listings portal is temporarily unavailable.
What You Need to Know:
· During this downtime, you will not be able to access or update your listings.
· Rest assured, all existing business and event information will continue to be visible to visitors on the current website until the new site goes live.
· Our team is in the process of transferring and setting up all your business and event data in the new Simpleview-powered database.
- Once the database goes live, you will be provided a new link to a different website.
- We will set up training before the new website goes live in early November so you can comfortably update and manage your data in the new system. Training dates are currently being determined; we will share them as soon as they are confirmed.
- Visit the MOTPartners transition information page HERE for updates on the new portal launch, training opportunities and more.
· If you need an urgent change during the transition period or have questions, please contact Christine Rosen at Christine.rosen@maine.govor 207-592-6251.
Thank you for your patience as we work to enhance the platform. We look forward to unveiling the refreshed VisitMaine.com and providing you with an upgraded database to promote your business.
