New early spring 2018 issue of our digital Parks & Travel Magazine is out!
From an epic road trip across Zimbabwe to following the southwest desert portion of the historic Anza Trail, this early spring issue of Parks & Travel Magazine takes you on a journey to a multitude of park destinations throughout California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Louisiana and Kentucky. The spotlight also shines on the arts with features on plein air painting, artist-in-residence programs, film history, and regional festival and event news.
Boosting local economies, responsible tourism plays a major part in building healthy communities. See the launch of our new Excellence in Tourism series ‘Putting the “I” Back into Community’, as well other hospitality industry features that focus on animal welfare, harassment in the workplace, and bespoke tours.
As part of Parks & Travel Magazine’s commitment to promote park destinations and help travelers discover park gateway communities and their local parks and public lands, we are proud to announce our special (and free) new tourism marketing program offering complimentary regional profile page listings on our travel planning site NationalParkTraveling.com, for select non-profit / government operated visitor information / welcome centers; parks, museums and attractions; activities and events. See NationalParkTraveling.com for details!
