TOURISTS WELCOME is a hospitality development & management group based in North Adams, MA delivering memorable experiences by connecting guests with breathtaking nature, timeless leisure, local history, and art and music happenings.

In 2018, we opened TOURISTS, a 46-room flagship hotel modernizing the aesthetic of a classic American motor lodge. The land on which the hotel sits straddles the Hoosic River, revealing a network of walking trails, and forest clearings designed for year-round exploration guided by our on-site Art & Adventure team. In 2019, we opened our second project, The Airport Rooms, an on-site restaurant & cocktail lounge for hotel guests and the community to enjoy. In 2024, we opened TOURISTS Homes in the Blackinton neighborhood adjacent to our hotel. In the coming years, we will premier our B&B property in North Adams, a new Event Space at TOURISTS hotel, a “Made by TOURISTS” line of goods on thesouvenirshop.com, as well as several new TOURISTS Cabins locations across the country.

Our ideal Project Manager loves people, creativity, and organized, consistent progress. They have great attention to detail, can productively multitask, and are independently motivated to succeed. This is a startup and a small office, so all team members have to be willing and able to roll up their sleeves to pitch in towards company goals and evolving needs and demands of the business. Like plunging a toilet, or meeting the lumber delivery truck, etc. Employee responsibilities and job descriptions are subject to review and revision.
