2017 TN Visitors Guide
Tuesday, January 24, 2017 12:58 pm of Tourist Development today released its 2017 Official Tennessee Vacation Guide, featuring Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill Garth Brooks on the famed stage at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, which celebrates its 125th Anniversary this year. More than 550,000 guides are available to inspire potential guests to book a trip filled with authentic experiences that are part of "The Soundtrack of America. Made in Tennessee." The 2017 Official Tennessee Vacation Guide is available free of charge at any of Tennessee's 14 Welcome Centers or by calling 1-800-GO2-TENN (462-8366), and can also be ordered or downloaded online at www.tnvacation.com/guide. Brooks was named an official Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill by Governor Bill Haslam in October 2016, in honor of his becoming the first artist in music history to earn seven Diamond Awards--recognizing seven albums selling 10 million or more copies each--from the Recording Industry Association of America. Tennessee singer/songwriter Peter Cooper authored a retrospective on the Ryman Auditorium for the guide, joining a number of noted writers profiling the places, people and events that attract more than 100 million visitors to Tennessee annually. This year's guide is expanded to include six feature sections showcasing Tennessee's scenic beauty, creative spirit, unique experiences, culinary excellence, history, and, of course, music. The guide also promotes Discover Tennessee Trails & Byways, which connect the state's major cities to the hidden gems of its smaller towns, state parks and natural beauty that lie off the beaten path. A compilation of annual events, regional overviews, maps and destination listings rounds out the guide.
