Lake Lanier is the biggest tourist attraction for Hall County and much of North Georgia, and it takes a team to manage visitors to it every year. The Lake Lanier Convention and Visitors Bureau thanked its members, volunteers and supporters Tuesday at its annual meeting and Shining Star Awards at the Historic Train Depot in downtown Flowery Branch. Stacey Dickson, president of the bureau, said it was a big year in tourism at the lake.
