“The challenge is to get the word out,” Margaret Joyce, assistant director of the state Division of Travel and Tourism Development, told the Dover Tourism Forum, a business group, on Friday. “You have to work together. That’s why the venue such as this is extremely important.”

City officials and members of a task force working on the development of a 35-acre municipally owned downtown waterfront district also are hoping the project will help bring more visitors to Dover.
