Helping Visitors And Residents Discover More
The new platform creates a more connected and user-friendly way to explore the destination. Visitors browsing an event can discover nearby restaurants, hotels, attractions, and local businesses, while those exploring a business listing can easily find events happening nearby. Business listings include helpful details such as Google reviews, operating hours, and open/closed status, while event pages provide real-time information and the ability to add events directly to a personal calendar. Together, these features make it easier to plan outings, discover new experiences, and stay informed throughout a visit.
"For residents, it provides an easy way to find local events, family-friendly activities, live entertainment, dining experiences, and weekend plans," said Kelsie Woodward, Director of Marketing and Communications for Greater Ontario, California. "For visitors, it helps them explore what is happening during their stay, whether that is catching a favorite artist in concert, attending a sporting event, or discovering unique local experiences."
One Centralized Platform For Destination Management
Behind the scenes, both the Events Calendar and Smart Business Listings are managed through a single dashboard, giving the GOCAL team one centralized place to maintain destination content.
Business information is automatically synchronized with Google Business Profiles, while events are aggregated from multiple trusted sources and can also be submitted directly by organizers. Combined with configurable approval workflows, the platform helps GOCAL maintain accurate, up-to-date content while significantly reducing the time and effort required to manage the website.
"Local businesses, hotels, attractions, and event organizers can easily submit their own listings and events, ensuring the information comes directly from the source," she added. "At the same time, our team maintains editorial oversight, allowing us to deliver trusted information while significantly reducing the workload required to keep content current."
Built Through Partnership
The new website was designed and developed by JNS Next and is powered by ITI Digital's Digital Experience Platform (DXP). Together, the integrated solution combines a modern website experience with intelligent destination management tools that help GOCAL maintain accurate content while delivering a richer discovery experience for visitors and residents.
By connecting events, businesses, attractions, restaurants, and hotels within a single platform, the DXP helps GOCAL create a website that is continuously updated, easier to manage, and more valuable for both visitors and the local community.

"If there is one takeaway we would like the community to know, it is that there is always something new to discover in GOCAL," Woodward said. "Whether you are planning a date night, family outing, weekend adventure, or staycation, the platform makes it easier to uncover new places, support local businesses, and experience the region in ways you may not have considered before."
