PHILADELPHIA, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the "Phanatic Around Town" tourism and fan initiative, the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC), sponsor of the With Love, Philadelphia XOXO® Phanatic—one of 20 hand-painted statues around town—today announced "Phanatic Tuesdays." This social media promotion encourages visitors to snap photos with the Phanatic statue of the week and upload them to the visitphilly fan page on Facebook or share them via Twitter (using a #Phanatic hashtag to help Twitter users track all Phanatic-related tweets).
