   "Taste of VenturaCountyWest is a great way to introduce people to this wonderful region," says Victor Dollar, general manager of the Four Points by Sheraton Ventura Harbor Resort and chair of the Ventura County Lodging Association. "The Ventura County Lodging Association created the 'VenturaCountyWest' campaign to bring attention to these three distinctly different cities, all offering their own unique opportunities for fun, leisure and adventure.
