Kentucky Great Getaway Guide Now Available Online
Kentucky's
Great Getaway Guide 2003 is now available to the public online!
The annual vacation guide is produced by the Kentucky Department of
Travel (KDT), an agency of the Tourism Development Cabinet, which promotes
the Commonwealth as a travel destination.
The 130-page magazine-style book includes information about Kentucky
attractions and accommodations and contains a ten-page Calendar of Events.
The publication is arranged in four geographic sections for easy use
in locating things like "must sees," dining options or unique
destinations whether you're in eastern, western, north central or south
central Kentucky. The guide also offers ideas for themed getaways such
as "Down on the Farm," "Music of Kentucky" and "Watchable
Wildlife."
The cover of the 2003 Great Getaway Guide features the Kentucky Artisan
Center at Berea, the Commonwealth's newest attraction, opening in July
2003. The center, a new agency of the Tourism Development Cabinet, will
showcase Kentucky's one-of-a-kind crafting experience. Visitors to the
center can see and purchase crafts, enjoy a Kentucky fresh meal or snack
and learn more about craft-related tourism destinations throughout the
state.
The economic impact of Kentucky's tourism industry hit $8.7 billion
in 2002, contributing more than $906 million in state and local taxes.
Tourism ranks as Kentucky's third largest industry and second largest
employer.
