Celebrate National Tourism Week: Explore Your Local World

Many of us have been home-bound for weeks due to COVID-19 and are hungry for a change of scenery.  Next week, May 3-9, is National Travel and Tourism Week and a great time to get into the Spirit of Travel by taking a short Staycation.

Although many parks and local trails are temporarily closed, you can still explore your neighborhood or local community by taking a daily walk to enjoy all the May flowers.  Plan on taking a different route each day during your Staycation.

For those willing to venture out by car, taking a leisurely drive close to home is a way to explore the world around you and see something new.   Every state in our Nation has one or more distinct and diverse routes designated as America’s Byways and All-American Roads. Chances are there is a scenic route or road less traveled near you that you never took the time to explore.  Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy Spring and celebrate the #Spirit of Travel.
